Tries: Lineham Goals: Patton |
Challenge Cup finalists Warrington suffered a fifth straight Super League defeat as they lost to Wigan for the first time in four meetings in 2019.
Injury-hit Wire had their two top try scorers Blake Austin and Josh Charnley among a host of missing players.
And they were taken apart with three first-half tries from Bevan French, George Williams and Zak Hardaker.
Steve Price's side improved after the break but only had a late Tom Lineham consolation touchdown to show for it.
Dec Patton, who had earlier seen two tries chalked off, one of them harshly, landed the conversion, but although they won the second half, it was Wigan's early blitz that sealed the game.
