Leigh Leopards rallied from 12-0 down to score four tries and beat St Helens.
First-half tries from Jonny Lomax and Jon Bennison gave the champions control before Josh Charnley replied for Leigh.
The game turned when Saints prop Matty Lees was sin-binned for a swinging arm in a tackle and Leigh immediately scored through winger Tom Briscoe.
They used their man advantage again to send centre Zak Hardaker over to take the lead, before a grubber kick fell for Joe Shorrocks to seal victory.
