Rob Cross has ended Raymond van Barneveld's dream return to the PDC World Darts Championship bringing it down to a shuddering halt at the Alexandra Palace.
Cross recovered from a set down to win nine out of the last 12 legs to seal an emphatic win 3-1 in sets in what was an enthralling encounter between two former World Champions.
Van Barneveld had a dream start had an incredible first set averaging 96.7 and hitting a 170 checkout en route to sealing an early lead as the Barney Army were firmly behind him.
But Cross produced a second set salvo including a 93 checkout to level proceedings up at 1-1 with both players combined hitting eight 180's up to that point.
He took the lead in sets after a thrilling last leg decider as he aimed to leave Barney behind and that he did with an 86 checkout en route to sweeping the set and claiming the win.
