Warrington came from behind at the Stoop to end Harlequins' unbeaten start to the 2007 Super League season.

Two tries from Quins' Australian duo Matt Gafa and Scott Hill put the home side 12-0 up inside the first quarter.

But Warrington immediately hit back when Martin Gleeson touched down after a stunning pass from Lee Briers.

Henry Fa'afili's tries either side of the break secured Warrington's comeback before Stuart Reardon burst through to end Quins' hopes of topping the league.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Harlequins coach Brian McDermott:
"The game went in the second half and Warrington fully deserved to win.
"They invested more effort than us and there are areas that we've got to work on in training this week.

"It's the third week on the bounce where I've got issues about our second-half performance. We were poor at Hull KR last week after the break as well but I'm not panicking.

"We were good defensively and Warrington had to produce good play for their tries."

Warrington coach Paul Cullen:
"We learnt lessons from Harlequins in the first 15 minutes and were making passes we had no right to make.
"If you give them the ball they will make you pay and they did that. But it was a remarkable show of character from my boys yet again.

"We played some good rugby after the first 15 minutes - we never entered the Quins half until the 17th minute and within 30 seconds of being down there we scored a try.

"Quins always make you work hard for the win and it's great to go to the top. But I'm not overly concerned with the league table because I'm not overly satisfied with this performance."
