CRISIS-RIDDLED Salford defied uncertainty over their existence to pull off a shock 25-12 victory over Warrington in the Betfred Super League.

- By ANDY HAMPSON

The patched-up Red Devils, who face a winding-up hearing next week having been embroiled in financial turmoil all season, stunned the Wolves with a remarkable display of spirit and resilience at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Two-try Justin Sangare starred for the visitors whose cobbled together starting 13 featured seven loan players while Jack Darbyshire and Tiaki Chan also scored.

Rowan Milnes converted all four tries and made certain of victory with a late drop goal.

It was only their third victory of the season and a humiliating defeat for Warrington, who were booed off the field with their playoff hopes in tatters.

Salford were unable to fulfil one fixture this month and were thrashed 80-6 in another, having been hit by a raft of player departures.
