Arriving from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in January, Dutch striker Wout Weghorst made his move to the UK and to Burnley and he has adapted well to life in the Premier League with one goal and tow assists in their relegation battle.

But he also adapted to another sport very well in darts as he revealed he holds a win over his compatriot, Michael van Gerwen.

"We played once, he was with the national team. He came there on an evening and we just played. It was funny and then at the end, we played from 301," said Weghorst to Sky Sports.

"We played down and then I beat him. Of course that was crazy, that was really nice. But he was a little bit angry and wanted to play two more games and I had no chance."

"But we will just stick with the first one. I was done in nine from 301. I started exactly with two 140's and then hit the double directly so that was funny, that was cool."
