Fouad Yaha scored four tries as Catalans Dragons moved up to fifth in Betfred Super League with a 26-22 victory over struggling Leeds in Perpignan.

The winger raced over for the winning try with eight minutes remaining, meaning Ash Handley's treble proved in vain for the Rhinos, who remain bottom of the table.

Jack Walker's break three minutes into the game set up good field position for the visitors. Former Catalans half-back Richie Myler sent a wide pass to Konrad Hurrell, who sent Handley over in the corner.

Catalans then sent the ball to the right through Matty Smith and Tony Gigot, but the latter's wide pass was intercepted by Handley and the Leeds winger raced 90 metres to touch down under the posts.

Five minutes later and the Catalans were on the scoreboard, another penalty late in the tackle count
