On Night Nine of Premier League Darts action in Berlin, Jonny Clayton finally sealed his first nightly win, a feat he repeated more than anyone else last season.

But it has taken nine nights for Clayton to do so and despite admitting he rode his luck, he was glad to take some confidence after a few weeks of poor results.

“I know I can do it. I rode my luck a few times, but it’s a nice feeling to get back to winning ways,” said Clayton.

“The last two weeks Gerwyn Price absolutely demolished me, and it was difficult.

“Michael [van Gerwen] didn’t play his game tonight, but I had to concentrate on my own game, and now I’ve got a smile on my face and a win under my belt.

“For some reason, my confidence was brilliant tonight. I felt comfortable and the crowd were absolutely fantastic.

“There is massive pressure every week, but tonight I’ve done the job and the table looks so much better. Hopefully I’m here until the end and I’m going to try my very best!”

He also received a 'Buddy Bear' by the arena presented on Sport1 to celebrate his title: "It's a wonderful gift and it will look great in my trophy cabinet.

"It's the most colourful thing I've won and will be a good memory of winning this night."
