St Helens RLFC have ended Warrington Wolves' 100% home record with a 28-16 victory at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Mike Rush's Saints powered into a 22-point lead after just 23 minutes, with tries from Ade Gardner, Francis Meli and a Paul Wellens double.
No team in Super League history had ever overturned a deficit of more than 21 points, but Wolves threatened to ignite a landmark comeback two minutes before the half-time hooter.
Brett Hodgson snook over for his first try of the season and then converted to reduce the lead to 16 points.
Six minutes into the second period, Michael Monaghan further narrowed the Saints' lead with a quick-witted touch-down in the corner.
However, Sia Soliola ended all dreams of a Wolves win as he used brute strength to barge his way through three bodies and mark his return from a facial injury with a try 13 minutes from time.
Ryan Atkins crossed for a consolation try in the final minute.
