    St Helens have gone over. It's given as no try on field but it's sent upstairs.

    Jonny Lomax puts a grubber kick in to goal and Joe Batchelor looks to get the ball down on the last minute.

    But replays show he touches down as the ball makes contact with the line.

    Leeds took advantage of a resilient first-half defensive display to beat Wigan 20-8 and reach their first Super League Grand Final since 2017.

    Liam Marshall gave Wigan an early lead but despite dominating possession and territory, they could not score again.

    Leeds turned the game around with quick tries after the break from Jarrod O'Connor and James Bentley, before Wigan had John Bateman sent off.

    Bentley scored again to seal the win before Sam Powell's late consolation as Wigan's unbeaten home run this season came to an abrupt end.
