DEMOLITION DERBY
 

PAUL WELLENS saluted his side’s cool heads as St Helens ended champions Wigan’s 15-game winning run in Super League. 

Saints struck late in a ferocious derby to beat their 12-man rivals who hadn’t lost in the league since last July.

World Club champions Warriors were 4-2 ahead after Man of Steel Bevan French’s brilliant solo try in the 56th minute.

But prop Liam Byrne received a red card for a shoulder to Mark Percival’s head just seven minutes later.

And England winger Tommy Makinson, back after missing the last two games injured, scored after a brilliant run from prop Alex Walmsley to nudge Saints ahead 6-4 in the 72nd minute.
