Jodie Broughton scored four tries as Catalans Dragon drew level on points with Warrington Wolves at the top of First Utility Super League with a 30-12 victory over St Helens.
The French outfit’s win at Knowsley Road is their fifth in a row away from home, and leaves them second only on points difference.
Broughton went over twice in the first 13 minutes, and although Theo Fages pulled a try back for Saints, the winger completed his hat-trick shortly after the half-hour mark.
Luke Walsh went over two minutes before the break to leave the hosts only two points down at half-time.
But second half scores from Richie Myler, Pat Richards, and, inevitably, Broughton, saw Catalans complete a comfortable victory.
