WARRINGTON Wolves again fell to a late defeat as they failed to make the most of chances.
Liam Farrell's late score earned Wigan victory, despite The Wire leading 12-0 early on.
A penalty try and an effort from Chris Hill had put Steve Price's men in control before efforts from Joe Greenwood and Zak Hardaker either side of the break levelled matters.
Stefan Ratchford had put Wolves back in front from the kicking tee before Farrell's late score.
