York run in five tries for dream win over Catalans
York Knights secured their first-ever Super League win over Catalans Dragons in Perpignan, coming from behind to score five tries in a thrilling contest at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. The victory marks a significant achievement for the Knights, who had never previously won at this venue despite five visits, and lifts them to 10th in the Super League table, just one place and four points behind Catalans.
Catalans raced into an early lead through winger Leo Darrelatour, who scored a hat-trick including a length-of-the-field effort just before half-time, giving the hosts a 16-12 advantage at the break. However, York dominated the second half, with tries from Liam Harris, Scott Galeano and a late score from Paul Vaughan sealing an eighth league win of the season, despite being reduced to 12 men late on following Jesse Dee's sin-binning.
