Wade comes from behind to defeat Brown and silence Alexandra Palace crowd

Wade silenced the crowd as a result who as expected were behind Brown due to the incident that occurred against Seigo Asada but his experience told towards the end. The crowd were against Wade from the very start and this affected 'The Machine' as Brown took the early lead in a deciding leg win after the Aldershot ace missed two set darts. Wade applied the pressure in the following set but Brown held his nerve to claim consecutive sets hitting a 80 checkout for a brilliant lead. It was finally some fortune for the multiple major winner with brilliant 122 and 76 checkouts by Wade to claim a set back as he looked to be turning the screw. 'The Needle' though didn't allow that to happen with him going one away from dumping another seed out with a 117 checkout to start. He then took advantage of missed doubles to go two-up before pinning double eight for a 3-1 lead. Wade himself took advantage of missed doubles in the next set with a clean sweep as he made sure he kept pace with Brown. Brown went two-one up in the next set meaning that Wade had to break to avoid the loss. He did hitting a 72 checkout to silence the crowd and go into a deciding set with the throw. for more information about the PDC World Darts Championship, including schedules and the prize fund breakdown.
