Aspinall came through 4-2 in a tight contest; but has now cemented another excellent run which could lead to a Premier League place; but this pressure Aspinall admits has seen him thrive.
He also spoke about defeating Gary Anderson; he said that it is what he plays darts for to defeat players with the stature of the former two time World Champion.
"To beat Gary Anderson, a legend of the sport, on the World Championship stage means the world to me," said UK Open champion Aspinall.
"It's an indescribable feeling and these are the moments you play darts for.
"I had a great run here last year, followed by a strong 2019 but I've not had the best last couple of months so I'm delighted to see my game shine through.
"There was definitely pressure on myself coming into this tournament, there were a lot of people backing me to win it and I take confidence from that."
