Gary Anderson claimed victory on Night Ten of the Premier League with a remarkable comeback win over Peter Wright reeling off six successive legs to claim victory.
Anderson was 5-2 down and won 8-5 in the end; with 'The Flying Scotsman' towards his best with some brilliant spells in the tie. He spoke afterwards and is feeling good despite admitting there are still issues with his game.
"I just kept going. Peter was taking out some great finishes at the start; but I thought it might come good and he might start missing a few doubles," said Anderson.
"It's going alright, I feel very calm up there even though my darts are sometimes all over the place. I've still got a bit of fight left in me."

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
