Mason Lino's dramatic last-play drop goal saw Wakefield boost their Super League play-off chances as they narrowly beat Yorkshire rivals Leeds Rhinos by a single point at a sold-out Belle Vue.

Rhinos looked set for victory on a tense evening after Jarrod O'Connor's late try, but Matty Storton ran over to level the scores with minutes left.

With the game seemingly heading for a golden point period, Brodie Clark narrowly missed a drop goal attempt for Leeds, before Lino, superb all evening, kicked from distance to snatch victory for Trinity.

The result takes Daryll Powell's side into the top six, while Leeds missed out on a chance to move level on points with second-placed Wigan.
