PDCThursday, 27 August 2020 at 20:01
Gary Anderson has subjected Michael van Gerwen to back-to-back Premier League defeats in as many nights in a brilliant 7-4 victory for 'The Flying Scotsman'.
Van Gerwen lost out to league leader Glen Durrant last night and his rivalry with Anderson saw the Scot take maximum points on Judgement Night.
The World Number One was leading early on as he went 3-2 up with Anderson having missed six darts at double so far.
He continued to edge in front until a pivotal break after 4-4 with the two time World Champion hitting double 20 to make it 5-4. From being 4-3 down, he made sure of at least a point and he hit an exhibition 101 to complete the feat and make it a 7-4 victory.

- 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.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
