Wigan (4) 20

Tries:
Eckersley, Hodkinson, Keighran, Smith Goals: Keighran 2

Wigan Warriors moved up to third in Super League as they came back to edge Hull in a hard-fought clash at the MKM Stadium.

Hull's first-half tempo forced a string of errors from the Warriors as tries from Lewis Martin and Harvey Barron, either side of Zach Eckersley's response, put the hosts 10-4 up at the break.

Jed Cartwright replied to Noah Hodkinson's score to take Hull's lead out to eight, but Adam Keighran cut the gap to two to tee up a tense final quarter.

Keighran then booted Wigan level at 16-apiece as Hull's penalty count mounted before Harry Smith crossed late on for the winning score.

The result moves Matt Peet's side within four points of table-topping Leeds Rhinos, while an 11th defeat of the season keeps the Black and Whites in 10th.
