Three tries inside the final 12 minutes saw Salford Red Devils end a run of three straight defeats and inflict more misery on Leeds Rhinos with a 24-12 win in Friday’s Super League match at the AJ Bell Stadium.
Mikolaj Oledzki and Ash Handley went over to give Leeds a slender 10-8 advantage at the break, with Ken Sio’s converted try and a penalty from Marc Sneyd keeping Salford within touching distance.
The Rhinos managed to see out a period with Bodene Thompson in the sin-bin and even increased their lead with a penalty from the boot of Rhyse Martin after Zane Tetevano was shown a yellow card for a hit on Sio which forced the winger from the field.
However, the Red Devils burst into life with tries from Chris Atkin and Elijah Taylor to turn the game on its head, with Ryan Brierley adding some gloss to the final score in the closing stages.
