A Sam Tomkins-inspired Catalans Dragons beat Hull FC to move up to fourth in Super League after both sides played most of a highly charged game with 12 men.
The hosts had Tariq Sims sent off inside eight minutes for a swinging arm on Ed Chamberlain, and Hull’s Ligi Sao followed him nine minutes later for a high tackle on Tomkins.
Michael McIlorum and Tomkins crossed and Arthur Mourgue booted three goals, with Carlos Tuimavave replying, as Catalans led 14-6 at the break.
Jack Walker cut the deficit to two points, but Ben Garcia and Tom Davies secured an important win for Catalans despite Lewis Martin's late score.
Catalans were far from their best, but a ninth home win of the season lifts them above Salford and St Helens into fourth - four points above seventh-placed Leeds - to boost their hopes of a top-six finish.
Second-bottom Hull remain winless on the road this season and four points above London Broncos.
