Wigan beat Wakefield to go top of Super League
Jai Field scored a length-of-the-field try to send Wigan Warriors top of the Super League table with a hard-fought victory against Wakefield Trinity.
Two quickfire tries from Liam Marshall after Bevan French opened the scoring for Wigan helped put the hosts 20-0 up at break.
And after Corey Hall hit back for Wakefield in the second half, Field hit the visitors on the counter-attack when they spilled the ball just metres short of the tryline as they searched for a second score and way back into the game.
While Ky Rodwell managed to pull another try back soon after, Wigan saw out a club-record 12th successive Super League win that edges them above Leeds Rhinos at the summit as Wakefield remain in fourth.
