JORDAN Turner's wonder try two minutes from time snatched another late win at Warrington that will add to the long list of heartbreaking defeats Saints have inflicted on the Wolves in the Super League era.

The scores were locked at 14-14 after Gareth O'Brien had slotted a penalty to equalise when Travis Burns broke from deep to set up the spectacular killer score.

The Aussie number six pierced the Wire midfield, and with the ball kept alive in a spellbinding passage of play with Adam Quinlan threading his way through and Mark Percival passing out of the tackle to shift the ball left where swift hands saw Turner force his way over in the corner.

Luke Walsh calmly stroked the touchline conversion between the uprights to seal it and send the large travelling contingent into rapture.

It was a game of two different halves with the opening period littered with penalties an the second period seeing Warrington on top for a good period.

What was different to last week, however, was the tackling with Saints repelling the Wire after their quick men had caused them problems in the second period.

The opening exchanges were fierce with the opening shot on Ashton Sims setting the tone, with the Wolves responding in kind the first time Saints had the ball.

Saints lost skipper Jon Wilkin after eight minutes, but swiftly re-adjusted.

Sims had a torrid evening and was met head on from start to finish.

Saints hit the front on 15 minutes when, following Alex Walmsley and Kyle Amor charges to the line, James Roby sneaked past Ben Harrison's attempted tackle to score by the post.

Luke Walsh slotted the goal and three minutes later chipped over a close-range penalty after Wolves had been punished for interference.

Penalties became the dominant feature of the half, and that took some of the intensity out of it and began to spoil it as a spectacle.

Warrington should have posted their first try on the half hour bur former England centre Ryan Atkins inexplicably passed the ball forward into touch when he looked as though he had already pierced the line.

Wolves did score just before the break after Walsh was penalised for a high tackle and from that position Stefan Ratchford sent Ben Currie over the whitewash.

O'Brien's goal cut the Saints lead to two points at the break and Wire started the second half on top.

Saints' tactics appeared to be to kick deep and pin the Wolves back or force the error.

Alas it was a Saints error that led to the next score with Walsh first trying to milk a penalty from dummy half and then throwing a telegraphed pass to the grateful arms of the fastest man on the field - Kevin Penny'

O'Brien's goal made it 12-8 but four minutes later big Mose Masoe made two telling carries.

The first one scattered the defence, and a carry later saw the Samoan man mountain bash his way over the try line.

Walsh's goal made it 14-12 and defences remained as keen as ever for the rest of the match.

Warrington had the upper hand for the bulk of the second half, with Matty Russell in particular having them back pedalling.

But they hung in there and it took a special effort on Chris Hill and and even bigger one by Jordan Turner and Mark Flanagan grounding to foil a certain try.

They stopped another one when a high ball was plucked out of the air, with a passage that resulted in a Wire penalty.

That looked like it was going to be it, but Saints seem to have a special way of twisting the knife when it comes to beating Warrington.

The passage of play at the death was worthy of pushing Saints, however temporary, to the top of the league - no wonder the away support was delirious with joy at the end as their Wolves counterparts trudged out.

The only cloud was the injury hanging over Wilkin who has a suspected broken or dislocated thumb.
