George Williams was the standout performer as Warrington secured a thrilling late victory against Catalans Dragons in the Super League.

Williams not only scored a try but also assisted Jordy Crowther, contributing significantly to Warrington's solid 18-2 lead at half-time.

Teenager Zack Gardner added another try on his full debut, placing Sam Burgess' side in a strong position.

Despite appearing in control, Warrington faced a spirited comeback from Catalans.

The French team, led by on-loan Hull FC hooker Denive Balmforth, saw him score two tries, while Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet, stepping in for the injured Sam Tomkins, added another.

This impressive rally allowed Catalans to take a narrow lead at 20-18 with just six minutes remaining.

However, Williams orchestrated a crucial break for Warrington, culminating in a brilliant kick that set up Josh Thewlis for the winning try, sealing the game for Warrington.

This victory marked their third consecutive win, bringing them within a point of sixth-placed Hull FC.

Despite the late drama, Warrington's inability to maintain their first-half advantage highlighted the need for greater consistency.
