Leeds Rhinos came from behind to stun Super League leaders Hull KR with a sensational winning try from Lachie Miller.

The Australian full-back finished a brilliant passing move which he had begun deep in his own half to cap a marvellous second-half display and send Rhinos back into third place.

Leeds' win ends the Robins' 11-match winning streak in all competitions and opens up the chase for the League Leaders' Shield after second-placed Wigan Warriors lost on Friday.

Willie Peters' side seemed to be heading for yet another victory as they dominated the first half and opened up an 8-0 lead through Rhyse Martin's try and Arthur Mourgue's conversion and penalty.

Leeds stepped up a gear after the break, however, with Sam Lisone powering over, Jake Connor levelling with the boot and then Miller finishing a stylish move to make it seven wins from their past eight games for Brad Arthur's side.
