Wigan Warriors turned on one of their best performances of the season as they beat Catalans Dragons 40-16 in Saturday's historic Super League fixture in Paris.

The match at the Stade Jean Bouin was put on to celebrate 20 years of Catalans being in Super League, but Wigan - a week on from Challenge Cup final success over Hull KR at Wembley - were far superior.

Jai Field, Junior Nsemba, George Marsden, Jack Farrimond, Jake Wardle, Zach Eckersley and Adam Keighran all scored tries for Wigan, with 17-year-old Marsden's effort a contender for try of the season.

Catalans scored three tries through Solomona Faataape, Zac Lipowicz and Chris Satae, but the latter also managed to get himself sin-binned on the half-hour for intentionally giving away a penalty after disagreeing with a knock-on call against him, using up the Dragons' only captain's challenge in doing so too.

Wigan made hay against 12 players, scoring three tries with Satae off the park for a half-time score of 30-6. From there, there was no way back for Catalans on what should have proven a day of great celebration.

"We wanted to back up last week [Challenge Cup final victory] and not be a one-day team. We did that today.
