Canterbury have snatched their sixth win of the NRL season to keep their finals hopes alive with skipper Stephen Crichton landing a golden-point field goal for a 13-12 victory over Manly.

Crichton had earlier on Saturday night scored his side's first try at Accor Stadium, but his 82nd-minute effort gave the Bulldogs their third win from the last four games.

That puts some oxygen into their September finals hopes after it was starting to look out of reach after losing five on the trot in April.
