More misery for Salford

Hull FC ran out 35-18 winners at the Willows to leapfrog neighbours Hull KR in the table and pile the pressure on the struggling Salford City Reds.

The Reds dominated the second half of the match at but paid for a dismal 23-minute spell in which they conceded four tries.

They also leaked two more tries in the last two minutes of the match to go down to their seventh defeat of the season and remain just a point above bottom club Huddersfield Giants.

Their misery was compounded by another injury to skipper Malcolm Alker, who made his comeback from torn knee medial ligaments 21 minutes into the game but was forced off again 12 minutes later.
