Tries: Makinson, Clark Goals: Percival 2 Drop-goal: Lomax
Huddersfield (12) 12
Tries: Naiqama, Swift Goals: Connor 2
St Helens returned to the Super League summit as Jonny Lomax’s last-gasp drop goal gave them victory against Huddersfield at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Huddersfield silenced the home support by surging into an early 12-0 lead through a Kevin Naiqama try and Adam Swift’s 15th score in nine matches.
Tommy Makinson’s interception try halved the deficit before the break, and Daryl Clarke levelled midway through the second half.
An attritional contest looked to be going into extra time until Lomax dropped a goal from long range with barely 30 seconds remaining.
