Heartbreak as Salford hit by Saints late show

Salford, who have now lost their last seven games in all competitions, dominated the first half with tries from Kallum Watkins and Ryan Brierley, while Marc Sneyd kicked two conversions, a penalty and a drop goal.

But Saints roared back after the break for their first away win against Salford since 2019 with tries from Matty Lees and Tommy Makinson before Welsby's score made it back-to-back wins since they were beaten by Leigh in the Challenge Cup semi-final. Mark Percival also landed three goals from four attempts.
