Wigan won the World Club Challenge for a record-equalling fifth time after beating Australian champions Penrith Panthers at the DW Stadium.

Warriors twice led through Abbas Miski and Kruise Leeming but Panthers replied through Nathan Cleary and Dylan Edwards to go in 12-10 ahead at half-time.

But two key decisions by referee Liam Moore went Wigan's way after the break.

First he ruled that Jake Wardle had touched down to win it, before not giving Taylan May's last-gasp effort.

More to follow.
