BLAKE Austin's late drop goal secured a fourth straight Super League win for Warrington Wolves.

They had to tough it out against Huddersfield Giants but the Australian made up for his first-half yellow card to be the match winner.

Wolves spent 20 minutes of the first half with 12 men after two separate sin bins.

Ben Murdoch-Masila was yellow-carded for a tackle that left Giants prop Matty English needing to be stretchered off.

Shortly after he returned, Blake Austin went the same way after tripping Adam O'Brien.

Ben Currie, Gareth Widdop and Tom Lineham crossed for tries for Steve Price's side.
