Betfred Super League
Wigan Warriors (10) 23
Tries: Marshall 2, Hodkinson, Keighran Goals: Keighran 3 Drop-goal: Smith
York Knights (14) 22
Tries: Nofoaluma, Vaughan, Hingano Goals: Richardson 5
Wigan Warriors had to battle back from 14 points down against Super League newcomers York Knights to maintain their 100% winning start to the campaign.
York, who shocked defending champions Hull KR on the opening day of the season, silenced the Brick Community Stadium as David Nofoaluma and Paul Vaughan scored tries and Danny Richardson added a penalty to his two conversions.
The sin-binning of Ata Hingano, after the Knights conceded a series of penalties, changed the game as Liam Marshall scored two tries for the league leaders while the away side were down to 12 men.
Wigan edged ahead after the break as 20-year-old full-back Noah Hodkinson scored on his Super League debut, but a Richardson penalty levelled the score.
Adam Keighran's try and conversion and a Harry Smith drop-goal gave the Warriors the breathing space they needed as Hingano's try brought some late drama.
