Bradford have climbed to the top of Super League after beating Hull 32-22 at the KC Stadium.

The Bulls, who trailed 10-12 at the break, rammed in six tries to snatch victory through Terry Newton, Ben Harris, Joe Vagana, Andy Lynch and a brace from James Evans.

Great International Paul Deacon continued his devastating form by kicking four goals.

Hull scored four tries through skipper Richard Swain, Shaun Briscoe, Kirk Yeaman and Motu Tony while Paul Cooke kicked three goals.

The result sees the Bulls two points clear of reigning champions St Helens and third-placed Leeds while Hull remain in eighth spot.

The Warriors, who led 14-4 at the break, were led by two tries apiece from Chris Ashton and Trent Barrett.

Australian wing Richards also kicked eight goals in a devastating second half display.

The Wildcats scored a try in each half through scrum-half Ben Jeffries and skipper Jason Demetriou while Jamie Rooney kicked the visitors' only goal.

The win puts Wigan up to fourth place with six wins from their 11 games while Wakefield slip down to fifth, a point behind the Warriors.
