London Broncos made it three wins out of three home games in the Super League with victory over Wigan Warriors.

London scored 34 unanswered points after falling behind to a try from Kris Radlinski, converted by Danny Tickle.

Only in the final five minutes did Wigan show some spirit and they collected a pair of consolation tries.

Paul Sykes kicked immaculately for London all evening and ended with seven goals and a total of 22 points as the Broncos secured an impressive victory.

London coach Tony Rea singled back-rowers Solomon Haumomo and Lee Hopkins out for praise after the impressive victory over Wigan.

"I thought they were outstanding in the back row - they were a yard ahead of the piece," Rea said.

"We were down to 15 bodies after about 20 minutes and those guys rolled up their sleeves and did the hard work.

"They are an exciting bunch of blokes to work with - and they play an exciting brand of rugby."

Wigan coach Denis Betts criticised his players for a lack of discipline after their convincing defeat.

"It is the petulance of the youngsters that concerns me, and a 6-1 penalty count against us in the first half shows that," he said.

"I'm very frustrated with the lack of discipline, and it is an issue we have with the coaching staff.

"We were outplayed across the park and in all departments - we just didn't turn up."

Replacements: McLinden, Mbu, Tookey, Armour.
