Catalans Dragons thrash London Broncos

Catalans Dragons have secured the first win of Super League's Magic Weekend at the Etihad Stadium, beating London Broncos 46-18.

Early tries from Morgan Escare and Scott Dureau gave the French side a 12-0 lead, but efforts by Chris Bailey and Michael Witt levelled the scores.

Broncos had a strong period of possession in the first half, but Catalans edged ahead just before half time.

London offered little resistance after the break, as Frederic Vaccari added a second-half brace.

Kieran Dixon gave Broncos some late hope, but further scores from Escare, Leon Pryce and Zeb Taia sealed the victory for Dragons.
