Gary Anderson has began Night 12 of the Premier League Darts with a superb victory over Nathan Aspinall to take over the second place in the standings.

Anderson led throughout but had to endure an Aspinall comeback before taking all the points with six 180’s and a 101 average throughout.

Anderson took an immediate break of throw to begin the tie and pinned an 11-darter to extend that lead with a hold of throw at 2-0. ‘The Flying Scotsman’ extended his advantage to 3-0 taking out 64 for a double break whilst also being on a 115 average.

Aspinall finally got off the mark at 3-1 but Anderson was simply not missing and extended his lead to 4-1 with another 11 darter. He did miss though in the requisite leg with two at doubles spurned and Aspinall capitalised to make it 4-2. Aspinall continued his charge back into proceedings with a 108 checkout making it 4-3 and broke again to restore parity.

Anderson responded by stopping the rot with a 76 checkout to move 5-4 ahead. A 110 checkout saw him go clear once more at 6-4. Aspinall cut the gap to 6-5 as a pivotal part of the match was to come in terms of guaranteed points.

Anderson secured himself at least a point at 7-5, however The Asp forced a last leg. It was to ill effect though as Anderson concluded a brilliant display taking the points in the opener.
