SAINTS pushed ahead at the top of Super League after recording their first ever home win over Warrington Wolves since leaving Knowsley Road.

Keiron Cunningham desribed his team's performance as "brilliant" but Saints had to survive a scare when they conceded two soft tries late in the game to make it a bit more nerve-jangling than it needed to be.

But apart from that, it was a superb display with Saints' pack dominant and half backs Jon Wilkin and Travis Burns pulling the strings with some excellent passing and kicking skills.

Alex Walmsley produced a man of the match display, with Saints tries coming from Adam Swift, Joe Greenwood, Jon Wilkin, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Tommy Makinson.

Photographer Bernard Platt was there to capture the key moments.
