Warrington Wolves set up a Super League play-off semi-final against Hull KR courtesy of George Williams' golden point extra time drop-goal against St Helens.

The hosts took just two minutes to get on the board as Toby King touched down but Tommy Makinson dived to the corner to reply soon after.

Mark Percival twisted his way in for Saints' second before Makinson crashed over for another but Matty Ashton cut into the visitors lead before half-time.

King and Ashton both crossed for their second tries to tip the game on its head but Jon Bennison sent it to golden point, leading to Williams sealing the Wire's win.

Victory for Warrington means they will face Hull KR in the first of next week's semi-finals on Friday (20:00 BST).

Wigan and Leigh will face off in an all-Wigan borough tie on Saturday, 5 October.
