Jonny Clayton has cleaned up on the title front this season as the most successful player on the PDC Tour and he produced another statement win at the World Darts Championship breezing past Gabriel Clemens 4-0 in sets.

This for a loss of only four legs throughout the whole contest as he averaged 102.56 with seven 180's, three ton plus checkouts including multiple 121's.

He is now into the Last 16 for the first time in his career showing the mark of a player to really fear in this year's tournament.

Clayton breezed through the opening set with ‘The Ferret’ hitting two 180’s to claim it 3-1 to head into the lead. His standard just increased though as the match continued crashing in a ten darter and a 121 checkout on the bull to seal the second set.

Clemens claimed the lead in the third set with a 114 checkout only for Clayton to respond with a 91 checkout finished on double 20 for 1-1.  

His credentials were further stamped as he claimed the third set 3-2 to go further clear with a 102 average and he went towards the brink with a 121 checkout on the bull to lead in set four.

He moved 2-0 ahead in the fourth set from there and only needed one more leg for an emphatic win. Concluding in style with a 110 checkout as the Welshman joins his compatriot Gerwyn Price in the latter stages.
