Durrant spoke afterwards and said that the lure of the league bonus is there and that it would mean a lot for him to finish top.

"I just don't think players want to beat me this week," joked Durrant.

"What can I do? I take out my doubles when I get the chances. It puts me in a fantastic position right now.

"I didn't feel much pressure coming into tonight but my scoring game wasn't quite there tonight.

"The big carrot now is for me to win this league, the £25,000 bonus along with putting my name alongside the elite in Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor would mean a lot to me.

"Mentally it's been a very difficult ten days making sure you don't let anyone down. It can be tiring."
