Leigh are the first to get through elimination weekend, and are heading toward a milestone semi-final next week.

Three second-half tries from Edwin Ipape, Gareth O'Brien and Josh Charnley - whose night was ended when he suffered a neck injury - has Leigh just 80 minutes away from the Grand Final.

Salford, a side lauded as entertainers throughout the season, have been left stunned as their season ends in front of a packed home crowd.

While that's all for the Red Devils this season, we have only just got started with the Super League play-offs.

Tomorrow, Warrington Wolves host St Helens in the second eliminator.

It's a match you can follow right here, and live on BBC Two, iPlayer and various BBC radio stations.

For now, it's goodnight from us.

Leigh head coach Adrian Lam speaking to Sky Sports:

I am so proud of them as they just got bombarded in that first 40 minutes. But the courage that we showed to keep turning up – I am just so happy for the whole town.

The team are very connected as a group and I love them dearly. Yes we are losing a lot of them at the end of the year but they are playing for each other now.

I don’t know how we have managed to turn it round this season but we just had to keep believing in each other and stick to our processes.

If we had lost another game in the second half of that season we wouldn’t have been here tonight.

But we are heading in the right direction and we will deal with whoever we get next week whether it is our neighbours or if we are heading up the motorway but we will enjoy this moment because they don’t come around too often.

Edwin Ipape speaking to Sky Sports:

"It has been a massive couple of weeks for the club and there has been a massive three months. If we hadn’t won as many as we have we wouldn’t be in a position to play this tonight. I was just lucky to get over the line tonight and play a part in this win.

"We have had this squad for two or three years now and some have come from overseas and we have built a family and a culture. It has kept us close together and it is sad that some of the boys will be leaving us at the end of the season.

"But that last dance mentality has been a motivation for this group and we are saying it every opportunity we get. We leave everything out there and we get out of this on our terms. It is our last dance."

Leigh Leopards head coach Adrian Lam has just been speaking to Sky Sports and has given a brief update on Josh Charnley.

The winger is on his way to the hospital, but is conscious with a neck brace on.

We have some reaction on it's way, but let's quickly look at what's still to come in the play-offs...

Salford have been upstaged on an incredible night by the Leigh Leopards.

There are euphoric scenes among the visiting fans, but there will no doubt also be concern for winger Josh Charnley who left the field on a stretcher with a neck injury late on.

They have totally dominated the second half there. Salford were very good in the first half but they just did not get to the game in the second. They had a good spell for the last five or six minutes but ultimately Leigh have been too good.

Leigh Leopards win! They are heading to the semi-finals.

Leigh are now a man down, with Jack Hughes sin-binned for obstructing Jayden Nikorima.

Hughes must have felt he had no choice there to deny Salford a big chance.

Leigh know they need to slow things down now they have the ball, and yet Salford have wrestled in back while still in Leigh's half.

What drama can the Red Devils produce off the back of that gift?

Jayden Nikorima goes close, but Leigh's defence holds strong...

The Red Devils pop the ball around and keep it alive as they search for a way through.

In the end, one of those risky passes is thrown forward and their chance appears gone...

You really felt they needed to score there.

A succession of penalties in Salford's favour have the hosts trying to snarl and scratch their way back into this game...

Salford are throwing everything at Leigh now.

Tim Lafai taps and runs from a penalty, and the Red Devils are withing striking distance.

Marc Sneyd tries to unpick Leigh's defence with a gubber kick, but Matt Moylan is there for the Leopards.

The full-back, however, knocks on and Salford come again with a penalty just a few metres out.

Unbelievable reaction from Leigh.That was just the perfect reaction to see a player go off then get the dropout, set themselves up on that side then Edwin Ipape gets it at second receiver.

He has that fade and he absolutely struts straight through the Salford line. That is a big big try in terms of this game.

That third Leigh try appears to have pumped the visitors full of more energy.

Salford are edging towards a point of desperation as they try find a way back into this game to salvage their season.

Josh Charnley is now being carried from the field on a stretcher.

There has been a lot of concern for him after he took a head knock in that collision.

Leigh fans are on their feet showing their appreciation for the winger.

We are back up and running now.

Before we get that goalline restart, there is a stoppage in play.

Medics are on the pitch in their numbers as they see to Leigh's Josh Charnley, who appears to have hurt himself while forcing Ryan Brierley back over the line.

A stretcher is brought onto the field.
