Catalans (10) 24Warrington (12) 22
Tries: Penny, Briers (2)
Goals: Briers (5)
Catalans twice came from behind to down Warrington in the Super League clash in the south of France on Saturday.
The Dragons scored five tries in total after trailing 10-12 at the half-time interval in Perpignan.
Younes Khattabi, David Ferriol, Justin Wilson, Casey McGuire and Jason Croker crossed for Catalans, while Kevin Penny and Lee Briers (2) scored for Wolves.
Briers also kicked five goals but a fine individual display was not enough against a committed Catalans pack.
The victory took the French side up to eighth in Super League as Warrington remained third from bottom, three points above basement side Salford.
Catalans took the lead after 11 minutes when McGuire kicked wide for Khattabi to gather ahead of Brent Grose and touch down in the corner.
Penny, 19, went close to a quick reply for Warrington but he was stopped two metres short. But he did get over on 24 minutes after he intercepted a Ferriol pass to race home.
Catalans reclaimed the lead on the half-hour as star scrum-half Stacey Jones stretched the Wolves defence to create the space for Ferriol to run in.
But Warrington nosed in front against the run of play before the interval as Briers scored an opportunistic converted try.
Two Briers penalties early in the second half gave Wolves a six-point lead but Jones was again the catalyst as he made the room for Wilson to power over from 20 metres.
Croker crossed soon after and Bosc added his second goal to give the Dragons some breathing space.
But Warrington were not finished and Briers finished off Jon Clarke's break from dummy-half.
Briers' fifth goal shaved the deficit to two points with 12 minutes remaining, and his high kick nearly set up a late win, only for teenage winger Chris Riley to lose the ball as he stretched for the line.
