Saints Triumph Over Salford with Mbye's Golden Point Heroics.

Moses Mbye delivered a dramatic golden-point drop goal to snatch victory for St Helens over Salford in a thrilling finish. His clutch performance ensured St Helens secured a hard-fought win in a match that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

Tommy Makinson, Waqa Blake, and Joe Batchelor's tries seemed to have St Helens on track for a win within regular time. 

However, Salford stayed in contention with Marc Sneyd's kicking and a try from Chris Hankinson. Nene Macdonald then scored with 10 minutes left, sending the game into extra time.

In the drama of extra time, Moses Mbye made a crucial tackle on Deon Cross and attempted two drop goals before nailing the game-winner. His successful drop goal pushed St Helens to fourth in the table, surpassing Salford on points difference.

Makinson’s try in the left corner, his 187th in Super League, also moved him to seventh on the all-time try-scorers list.
