Van Gerwen angry after fan hit him with beer: 'Didn't know how to react'

Alan Tabern, Van Gerwen's opponent, was already on the podium. The sounds of Pink Floyd's tune was already audible, but the crowd was waiting for Van Gerwen. That took so long that Sky Sports decided to show old footage of 'Mighty Mike' to fill the gap.
"It has never happened to me before," Van Gerwen told Sky Sports. "I didn't know how to react, I was so angry. What can you do? You can't do anything.
"The only thing I could do was change my shirt and wash my hands, as it was all over my arms. We throw darts with our hands and every little thing on your hands gives you a different feeling. It was quite difficult and I was a little bit emotional, but I'm glad I won this game."
