Warrington bounced back to beat London Broncos and move within two points of the Super League top two.

Having lost top spot in their defeat by Hull KR last weekend, Wire led throughout but were made to work hard for the points by the stubborn Broncos.

Rodrick Tai, Matty Ashton, Paul Vaughan and Toby King all crossed for the visitors, with Josh Rourke and Lewis Bienik responding, as Warrington led by 12 at the break.

Adam Holroyd put Wire further ahead, but Sam Davis and Ugo Tison brought London back within six points before Ashton's 100th career try sealed victory.
