Nathan Aspinall has returned to the top of the Premier League Darts table after sweeping aside Michael van Gerwen in a superb display winning through 8-3.
Aspinall said prior to proceedings starting that he wouldn't need his Red Bull for adrenaline any longer with the crowd return and he definitely thrived against Van Gerwen producing a 97 average, three 180's and 57% on the doubles in the process.
Aspinall made a superb start to proceedings smashing in a 120 checkout before following it up with a double 18 to double his lead against Van Gerwen.
A hold followed with a 75 checkout to lead 3-0 and he looked to be running away with it with a further 120 checkout after Van Gerwen got off the mark.
He pounced from there after MVG missed two darts at double to break once more and make it 5-1.
But this is where Van Gerwen roared into life in the mid part of the tie produced a 122 and 110 checkout to get back on track at 5-3 down.
Despite that though, Aspinall added more legs going 6-3 up with a 13-darter as he aimed to head to the finish amid the mid match brilliance from the five-time champion.
More missed darts at double 20 from MVG though saw Aspinall break from there on double 12 to go one away at 7-3 up with at least a point for 'The Asp'.
He claimed the tie from there with Van Gerwen missing the bull for an 85 checkout and a double 14 shot saw Aspinall come away with a full points haul.
