Last updated 28th May 2022
Wigan has won the Challenge Cup Final 2022 for a 20th time.
They beat the Huddersfield Giants in the last few minutes of the game, finishing 16-14.
A try four minutes from the end by winger Liam Marshall broke Huddersfield hearts and helped Wigan clinch a record-extending 20th Challenge Cup triumph to deliver a major trophy in Matt Peet’s first season as head coach.
Their last victory in the cup was back in 2013.
The Challenge Cup Final, which was held at Tottenham Hotspur's stadium, is the first major honour of this year's rugby league season.
The 62,850-capacity stadium, which opened in 2019 on the site of Tottenham Hotspur's former White Hart Lane home, was the 12th venue to have hosted the cup final in the competition's 125-year history.
It is the first time it has been held away from Wembley since being played at Twickenham in 2006 when the former was undergoing redevelopment, although the final is due to return to the national stadium next year.
