St Helens overpowered bottom side Salford Red Devils at the Totally Wicked Stadium to move within a point of the Super League top four.

The Red Devils showed plenty of defensive fight, but trailed 20-0 at the break to a Kyle Feldt double and scores from Owen Dagnall and Morgan Knowles.

Daryl Clark enjoyed a simple run-in and audacious football skills gave Dagnall his second before Tristan Sailor strolled over as the visitors faded.

The floodgates then opened as Jake Burns scored a quickfire double, Sailor grabbed his second and Feldt completed his hat-trick to cap an 11-try rout.
