Highlights from the Super League match between Leeds and Warrington

Warrington made it eight wins in a row in the Betfred Super League with a 33-22 victory over Leeds after a see-saw contest at Headingley.

The Rhinos battled back from 10-0 down to lead 22-11 but the Wolves showed real metal and posted a storming finish scoring four tries with three of those scores arriving in an eight-minute period.

The win takes Warrington to within four points of leaders St Helens.

Harvey Livett's try that sealed his hat-trick against Leeds in the aforementioned 33-22 victory, was an electrifying effort.

The move started with a Stefan Ratchford break followed by some interplay involving Tyrone Roberts, before the utility player dotted down with an effort that put daylight between the sides.

Season best?

Wakefield reignited their play‑off hopes with a timely nine-try 54-18 home victory against Hull KR.
