Anderson vs Suljovic final first in history of World Matchplay without an Englishman

This outcome was confirmed in the semi-finals with two Scots, an Austrian and Dutchman left involved.
Most years the finals have included Phil Taylor or James Wade meaning with Taylor bowing out last year in particular that the outcome of an Englishman in the final was unlikely to happen for the first time.
