But the win could have come at a considerable cost, amid fears skipper Mitchell Pearce may have suffered a pectoral-muscle injury.
Down 20-18 with less than two minutes left, Kenny-Dowall leapt high to pull in a Jamie Buhrer cross-kick to dive over in the corner for a memorable victory.

The Knights scored five tries to three.
