Wasps 19
Sale 20
SALE boss Alex Sanderson hailed his side’s northern soul as they overcame four yellow cards to jump to third in the Prem.
Sale did their best to turn this into a game of rugby league as they went down to 14 and 13 men but somehow pulled off this heist.
Full-back Luke James, hooker Akker van der Merwe, wing Byron McGuigan and fly-half AJ MacGinty were all binned in 20 second-half minutes for a Premiership record worst for the Sharks.
But the Salford men would not give up and incredibly were still in it at 19-13 down with three minutes on the clock.
