Holders Wigan Warriors suffered a shocking defeat in the Betfred Challenge Cup fourth-round tie against Hull FC, with winger Lewis Martin scoring a hat-trick to secure a 26-22 victory.
Despite Wigan holding a commanding 22-6 lead at half-time, Hull FC staged a remarkable comeback to knock the reigning champions out of the competition.
Wigan, who have won the Challenge Cup 21 times, seemed poised for the quarter-finals after a strong first half performance with tries from Zach Eckersley, Jai Field, Junior Nsemba, and Liam Farrell.
However, a resilient Hull FC side led by new coach John Cartwright fought back with tries from Amir Bourouh and Lewis Martin, who scored his second try late in the game to bring his team within four points of Wigan.
The defeat marks a disappointing end to Wigan's Cup campaign, while Hull FC's impressive performance has kept their hopes alive in the competition.
