Joe Cullen has boosted his Premier League Darts play-offs chances moving into the top four and setting up a thrilling conclusion to proceedings next week in Newcastle after Night 15 went the way of 'The Rockstar' in London.
Cullen was facing off against Jonny Clayton who had already secured his spot at the top of the table after defeating Michael Smith but it was the Bradford ace who added to his win in Rotterdam at the O2 in a 6-4 win.
It was Clayton who went into the lead early on in proceedings after hitting 60 after Cullen missed double five for a 130 checkout and he led 2-1.
But a clinical 110 checkout saw Cullen gain the lead and it was one he did not relinquish from there as he produced three consecutive legs to open up a 4-2 gap.
There was still time for some late drama as he missed five darts at double and Clayton made it 4-3 but he found himself one away at 5-3.
Clayton produced a magnificent 144 checkout to set up a thrilling conclusion at 5-4 behind but he missed chances to send it all the way and Cullen produced a 62 checkout going treble 15, one and double eight to seal it.
