Clayton on added personal bonus of Premier League Darts win: “I support Liverpool FC so the city means a lot to me”

Jonny Clayton saw off Michael Smith, Michael Van Gerwen and Joe Cullen to seal Night Two of Premier League Darts in Liverpool.

Clayton takes an early lead in proceedings after also reaching the final last week and ‘The Ferret’ was delighted to win in a city which means a lot.

"It means a lot to me to win in Liverpool, I support Liverpool FC so the city means a lot to me," said Clayton.

"The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic, it's a shame we have to leave!

"I didn't play my best in the final but I got over the line and that's what counts.

"The game against Michael van Gerwen was hard work, I had to be at my very best to win that one.

"I'm Premier League champion for a reason and I've got off to a good start this year, so long may it continue."
