Wigan Warriors win the Challenge Cup after a 28-18 victory against Leeds Rhinos at Wembley.

Wigan Warriors claimed the Challenge Cup after a 28-18 win against Leeds Rhinos at Wembley.

Tries from Josh Charnley, Jeff Lima and a solo run from Joel Tomkins put Wigan 16-0 up with just half-an-hour played.

Leeds hit back when Ryan Hall touched down, before Ben Jones-Bishop made the scores 16-10 at the interval.

The Rhinos started the second-half where they left off in the first as Carl Ablett scored a try, but Kevin Sinfield missed his kick to level the match.

The Warriors replied instantly as Lima claimed his second try of the game.

Hall touched down again to set up a nervous finish for Wigan, but Thomas Leuluai's late try earned the Warriors their first Wembley final win in 16 years.
