Wigan bounce back from their first defeat of the season by thrashing Leigh to reclaim top spot.

The world champions ran in eight tries as Leigh were consigned to a fifth defeat in their opening six games.

Liam Marshall's seventh try this season tied him with Leeds' Ash Handley at the top of the scoring charts.Leigh began brightly after the kick-off was briefly delayed by dense smoke from the pre-match pyrotechnics, but their first error saw Wigan press hard for Abbas Miski to finish brilliantly in the corner.

Josh Charnley's soccer-style footwork provided the returning Ricky Leutele with Leigh's first try to give them hope of a second-half revival.
