St Helens have been crowned World Champions for a third time in the clubs history following a dramatic 13-12 golden point win over Penrith Panthers at the Blue Bet Stadium in Sydney.

Saints led 10-0 at the break after tries from Tommy Makinson and Konrad Hurrell before Penrith pegged Saints back to 12-12 with last minute try to push the game to golden point.

After three drives towards the posts, up stepped Lewis Dodd to slot over a drop goal and seal a dramatic and historic win for the Super League champions.
