Super League bottom side Salford held off a late Hull KR fightback to clinch a priceless victory.

Salford made a good start with tries from John Wilshere, Luke Dorn and Aaron Moule within the first seven minutes.

But Hull KR hit back through Jim Gannon, Mark O'Neill and debutant Mark Lennon before Luke Robinson eased Salford's fears with another try.

Although Jon Goddard cut Salford's lead, David Hodgson responded before Andreas Bauer's late consolation try.

"The two biggest games this weekend were Leeds v St Helens and this game, for two very different reasons, and I think the appointment of the officials should have reflected that - and that is all I am going to say.

"However, we had enough chances to win three games and I will be looking at why we did not convert them.

"There is no character in coming from behind."
