Richie Myler set up a try and scored another as Salford capitalised on an error-strewn Huddersfield performance to win for only the fourth time in Super League this season.

Giants stand-off Kevin Brown attempted to find touch with a penalty in the sixth minute, but only succeeded in kicking the ball straight to a Reds player.

Salford took advantage by building a flowing move, which ended with Myler putting in John Wilshere down the left channel for a converted try.

The Giants, looking for a ninth win in 11 league and cup matches, never recovered, and Myler later scored a stunning solo try to cap a deserved victory.

Huddersfield showed some glimpses of what they are capable of, but the Salford defence held up on the line first Jamahl Lolesi, then Shaun Lunt and Danny Kirmond in the first half.

Martin Aspinwall palmed down a high kick for Luke Robinson to go over for the Giants on 17 minutes, only for Leroy Cudjoe to miss the conversion.

Robinson then started a fine move, in which Brown and Paul Whatuira exchanged passes to breach the Salford defence on 22 minutes, but the visitors recovered to stop Whatuira short of the line.

Salford, who have endured a torrid season since beating Celtic Crusaders on the campaign's opening day, punished the Giants further on 25 minutes.

Luke Adamson's acrobatic pass was pounced on by Jordan Turner, and his offload to Darrell Goulding on the overlap resulted in another converted try.

Huddersfield nearly reduced the deficit on half-time when Aspinwall went over in the corner but Lolesi was adjudged to have made a forward pass in the build-up.

Wilshere, who kicked four goals in total, added a penalty on 50 minutes, and also added the extras when Salford sealed victory six minutes later with a breakaway try.

Huddersfield had been camped near the Reds' try-line when a misplaced pass was intercepted by Myler, and he dashed nearly the full length of the field, leaving the entire Giants defence trailing in his wake to register a fine solo effort near the posts.

Seven minutes from time, Mark Henry completed the scoring when Stefan Ratchford's pass was palmed onto him by Willie Talau by the left touchline.
