Live Match Action
2 mins: Incredible! Ben Flower has become the first man to be sent off in a Super League Grand Final. The Welshman connected with two punches to Lance Hohaia, one of which was whilst he was on the floor. Incredible
15 mins: Wigan get a relieving penalty in Saints territory after Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook is pinged for obstruction. Matty Smith nails it, and Wigan LEAD 2-0
30 mins: Wigan concede two penalties in a row and the Saints opt for goal too, with Mark Percival slotting the penalty over. 2-2
37 mins: Saints think they’re in for a score, but it is ruled out when video referee Ben Thaler deems Josh Jones to be in touch.
40 mins: TRY! Wigan are in when a great pass from Blake Green sends Joe Burgess over. He had to finish it, mind! Matty Smith misses, so Wigan lead 6-2.
HALF-TIME
47 mins: More pressure for the Saints at the start of the second half, but yet more errors. This time the usually reliable James Roby with the knock-on, and Wigan escape again.
53 mins: TRY! Finally the Saints make some pressure tell! Sia Soliola is the try scorer, barging his way over to level it up. Percival’s conversion is good, so Saints lead 8-6!
63 mins: A scintillating break from Wigan – from absolutely nowhere, in truth – sees the Warriors race down the other end of the field! And after Josh Jones is penalised for holding down, Matty Smith missed with a penalty attempt!
69 mins: TRY! And this could be a potentially telling one. Tommy Makinson has got it – touching down after claiming Paul Wellens’ high kick. Percival goals – 14-6.
