Two tries inside the final five minutes helped Leeds Rhinos come from behind to beat Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 31-24 in the Super League.
A tight first half saw few scoring opportunities for either side, with Paul Aiton finding the line for the hosts before James Duckworth leveled for the Rhinos.
Aiton added a second after the break, but Leeds remained in contention with Ben Jones-Bishop running the length of the pitch to make it 12-12.
Kevin Sinfield, who was playing in his first match in five weeks after recovering from a thumb injury, kicked a drop goal 13 minutes from time to edge the visitors ahead, before a Joel Moon try opened up a seven-point lead for Leeds.
Justin Poore got the hosts back into the game 10 minutes from full time, before Frankie Mariano burst through the Leeds defence to score what he thought would be the match-winning try.
However, Carl Ablett was able to force his way over Leeds before Sinfield added the extra two points to give the visitors a one-point advantage with three minutes remaining, ahead of a further try from Rob Burrow during the closing moments of the clash.
