St Helens held on for a thrilling victory against Warrington in a classic encounter which left the two sides level on points in Super League.

Matty Ashurst and Jamie Foster tries gave St Helens an early lead but Paul Wood and Jon Clarke hit back for the home team.

The sides exchanged tries throughout - Francis Meli and Foster for St Helens, Ben Westwood scoring two for Wolves.

But they lost it when Westwood missed a conversion with six minutes to go.

The lead changed hands five times in a see-saw match that remained up for grabs right until the end.

The visitors scored with their first attack of the game when James Roby made two penetrating breaks before the ball came to Ashurst who went over.

Roby then combined with Tony Puletua to set up Foster for their second try, but Warrington hit back when David Solomona executed a deft hand-off to Wood who touched down.

Wolves maintained the momentum and took the lead when Clarke crossed after good work from Wood - a try which Westwood converted.

Meli seized the initiative back for St Helens, scoring after a neat dummy, before Westwood reduced their lead with a penalty from more than 40 yards just before half-time.

The next try came from the Westwood shortly after the break but Roby put St Helens back in the lead moments later.

Foster then bagged his second try of the day for St Helens before Westwood collected a low kick to touch down for the home team.

The conversion would have levelled the scores but Westwood missed the kick to leave Warrington two points behind with six minutes to go and St Helens held on for a memorable win.
