Dom Manfredi ended over two years of hurt with a two-try return to action as Wigan beat Warrington 26-6 to remain unbeaten in the Super 8s.
The winger had been on the sidelines for 762 days following a serious knee injury sustained at Castleford in 2016 - but all that pain was worth it as he scored twice late on to secure the points for Wigan.
The opening 40 minutes will not feature in many end-of-season highlight reels, but it was Wigan who led 6-0 the break with a try from nothing from Thomas Leuluai.
Warrington managed to level things in the second half with Stefan Ratchford going over, but two tries in the final 10 minutes from Manfredi saw the Warriors record their fifth successive win in the Super 8s. Ryan Sutton then added a final score.
The Warriors looked the better team with the ball in hand but they were unable to create many chances, though Willie Isa went close.
