Thrilling match sees Hull FC stun Super League leaders after surviving Wigan fightback

Hull FC claimed a crucial victory over league leaders Wigan, winning 14-10 in a pulsating encounter. The hosts put in a gutsy performance, with Brad Fash in particular catching the eye with two stellar stints in the front row. In contrast, Wigan were error-prone and lacked their usual spark, only staying in the game thanks to two tries from Iain Thornley. Despite the visitors having won six games in a row before this fixture, Hull were dominant from the off and scored their first try through Darnell McIntosh just six minutes in. Further points followed from Jake Clifford and Hull went into halftime with a 14-6 lead. Thornley scored his second try soon after the restart, reducing the deficit to just four points. However, although the rain poured down and Wigan mounted relentless pressure, Hull held firm and secured the win. Both sides made several errors towards the end of the match, but it was Hull who emerged victorious.
