Eight-try Wigan thrash Leigh to take top spot

Wigan bounced back from their first defeat of the season by thrashing Leigh to reclaim top spot.

The world champions ran in eight tries as Leigh were consigned to a fifth defeat in their opening six games.

Wigan were smarting from their Good Friday loss against St Helens, and this 'Battle of the Borough' against their neighbours was never truly in doubt.

Liam Marshall's seventh try this season tied him with Leeds' Ash Handley at the top of the scoring charts.
