St Helens make light work of London Broncos to top Super League table

Saints top Super League with emphatic win

St Helens have climbed to the top of the Super League table with an emphatic 58-16 victory over winless London Broncos at The Hive Stadium.

Mark Percival got the visitors up and running within seven minutes when he crossed over, before Kyle Amor and Jordan Turner added further tries.

The Broncos replied though James Woodburn-Hall on 20 minutes, but any sort of comeback was short-lived as Turner crossed the chalk for his second try of the afternoon.

Paul Wellens added the fifth St Helens try shortly after the half-hour mark to rack up a commanding interval lead over their already-relegated opponents.

The second 40 minutes continued in a similar fashion as Percival - who successfully kicked over on seven occasions across the game - added another try on 47 minutes.

Broncos supporters did have something to cheer shortly after when replacement Will Lovell and Denny Solomona crossed over within 10 minutes of each other to add some credibility to the scoreline.

The Saints were not yet finished, however, and Matty Dawson (twice), Luke Thompson, Sia Soliola and Anthony Laffranchi all touched down in an incredible final 14-minute spell to seal the victory in style.
