Rob Cross recorded his first career victory over Gary Anderson last night, previously Anderson was one of only a few players who the World Champion had not beat but he put that right with a 7-5 victory over the former 2x World Champion.
There was an average of just 92.3 but a crucial fourth maximum in the decider allowed the World Champion to have a smooth progression to the win.
Cross spoke afterwards and admitted that it wasn't great but big moments helped. Also he said following that he has really enjoyed the Premier League so far and he looks forward to it.
"It wasn't great tonight but a couple of big moments helped," said Cross. "The 75 to go 5-3 up was big and I managed to hold my throw from there.
"If you're winning you're not doing a lot wrong - it doesn't matter if it's scruffy or perfect. I've played brilliantly against Gary before and lost so to get the win tonight is really pleasing.
"I've really enjoyed the Premier League, the crowds are amazing and I look forward to it every Thursday."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
