Catalan Dragons secured their first win of the season, scoring 18 unanswered points to overcome Leeds in Perpignan.

Leeds led 22-12 at the break after tries from Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Jamie Thackray, Scott Donald and Lee Smith.

But it was all Catalans in the second half, with Casey McGuire's excellent try starting the fightback.

Vincent Dupport crossed next, and the Catalans took the lead with 14 minutes to go after Dimitri Pelo's try and Leeds could not close the gap.

Thomas Bosc opened the scoring after a great burst from Alex Chan, but a moment of great vision from Kevin Sinfield - surprisingly selected at hooker in Matt Diskin's absence - got Leeds back into the game.

Sinfield kicked down the length of the field to Scott Donald who gathered but was just caught by Clint Greenshields, but the ball then went wide for Jones-Buchanan to score.

Chan scored the Draons' second before Thackray showed brilliant kicking skills to score an individual try, chipping over a defender twice on his way to the line.

Leeds hit the lead when Jones-Buchananan's break was ended by Donald racing in from halfway.

And with the Rhinos adding a fourth before the break, Sinfield and Brent Webb putting Smith in at the corner, the home side looked to be in trouble.

But after the break, a brilliant running move involving Bosc, Clinton Greenshields and Justin Murphy gave McGuire the chance to score out wide.

Soon after, a superb Aaron Gorrell pass put Dupport over on the left, and then the Dragons took the lead when Pelo took advantage of a Smith errot.

Gorrell landed a late penalty from in front of the posts to make sure of the points after a high tackle from Jamie Peacock.

It was a well earned victory.

"We worked very well in the second half and I was very proud of the players but we've still got work to do.

"It was a big improvement on last week when we lost out to Wigan."

"The better team won on the night.

"The atmosphere was like a 14th man for the Catalans. Losing Danny McGuire and Ryan Bailey stretched us but all credit to Catalans.

"We knew it would be tough and were forced into to many errors."
