Nathan Aspinall knocked out world number one Michael van Gerwen on Sunday afternoon during the fourth Players Championship event in Wigan.
'The Asp' only dropped one leg in a convincing 6-1 victory over the Dutchman. Van Gerwen had an higher average (103) then Aspinall (102), but the Stockport ace produced some deadly finishes as hit 68, 95, 110 and 70 checkouts.
Aspinall became the surprising package at the PDC World Darts Championship as he reached the semi-finals as an unseeded player. He was beaten by Michael Smith, who lost to Van Gerwen in the World Championship final.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
