Jonny Clayton has completed the semi-final line-up at the World Series of Darts Finals as he looks to defend his title in Amsterdam after defeating Michael van Gerwen in a superb surge 10-7.
Clayton was 6-4 down but sealed six out of the last seven legs as he will now look to topple another Dutchman next in Dirk van Duijvenbode this evening.
Clayton was superb to start the tie as he went 3-1 up on Van Gerwen with an 11-darter but MVG got a pivotal let-off as he pounced on five missed darts at double to leave it poised at 3-2.
From there, he returned and sealed four consecutive legs going 6-4 up and looked to have the impetus but the finger point from Clayton marked the start of a surge.
He pinned his classic 121 checkout on the bull after Van Gerwen had gone six darts into a nine-dart finish and Clayton made it 6-5.
Three legs on the spin saw Clayton break throw to edge ahead at 7-6 and taking out 94, he was soon one away from the win at 9-6. He missed two match darts and Van Gerwen saved his skin with a 114 checkout to make it 9-7.
Van Gerwen produced a 174 to leave double 12 but was hoping Clayton didn't pin 80 for the win but 'The Ferret' didn't give him a chance sealing a brilliant win.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
