Joe Ofahengaue and David Armstrong scored late tries as Leigh Leopards beat Catalans Dragons 26-12 to go third in Super League.

Catalans had come from 12-0 down to level through tries from Tevita Pangai Junior and Tommy Makinson but fell to a sixth-straight league defeat.

Tesi Niu and Keanan Brand had both crossed to help give Leigh a half-time lead.

Leigh ran away with the game when Pangai Junior was sent to the sin-bin for a late tackle, but Gareth O'Brien's performance with the boot was crucial as he scored a penalty before full-time to add to his four conversions.
