The Warriors were dealt a devastating blow with the early loss of Great Britain prop Stuart Fielden with concussion but they rallied to run the leaders close in a tense, hard-fought clash at Knowsley Road.

Fielden could be doubtful for next week's Challenge Cup semi-final against Catalans Dragons while Saints were handed a potential disciplinary headache when hooker Keiron Cunningham was put on report for an alleged swinging arm on Wigan full-back Pat Richards.

Saints looked set to continue their derby domination after tries from Jason Cayless and Francis Meli gave them a 10-0 lead after 12 minutes but Wigan gradually clawed their way back into contention.

Full-back Richards struck in the last play of the first half to keep the match in the balance and the champions were forced to defend for long periods before securing a precious victory courtesy of a late drop goal from comeback hero Sean Long.
