Salford Red Devils picked up a third straight home win as they overcame a struggling Catalans side 32-16.
A five-try display secured an important victory for Ian Watson’s side, while leaving the Dragons reflecting on another bitterly disappointing performance.
The Red Devils raced into an early 12-0 lead through Jake Bibby and Niall Evalds, before Catalans hit back through Fouad Yaha to cut the half-time deficit to 12-4.
The teams exchanged tries through Greg Johnson and Yaha, but a Lui penalty, followed by tries through Josh Jones and Kris Welham, secured the game for Salford, with Greg Bird grabbing a late consolation for Les Dracs.
