Hooker Daryl Clark helped Warrington Wolves to a 34-4 Betfred Super League victory over Catalans Dragons at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Clark scored a fine individual first-half try when he scooted clear and beat four men to score and then created another for Australian half-back Blake Austin - his 18th of the season - to turn the game Warrington's way.

Bryson Goodwin, Josh Charnley and Sitaleki Akauola claimed Warrington's other tries with Dec Patton landing seven goals from as many attempts.

However, it was the visitors who manged to break the deadlock on 17 minutes when Tony Gigot's long pass allowed Fouad Yaha to squeeze over in the left hand corner after confirmation from the video referee.

Catalans deserved their lead but the game changed as Warrington struck with two tries in the final nine minutes of the half.

Firstly there was Clark's try and then two minutes before half time Clark turned provider as his drop off pass to Austin saw the Australian blast through the Catalans cover.
