Many criticised the selection of Chris Dobey after he claimed the Masters title last weekend but 'Hollywood' has sealed an ending akin to his moniker on Night One of his Premier League Darts debut in Belfast.

Dobey has sealed a nightly title at the first opportunity defeating Michael van Gerwen in style with a 160 checkout in a deciding leg to top the table albeit at this early stage.

It was superb from the start for the Bedlington thrower as he threw a 170 checkout to level up at 1-1. He found double eight to make it three legs on the spin and opened up a gap at 3-1.

Van Gerwen got back on level terms with a 114 checkout to make it 3-3 but Dobey regained the upper hand and went one leg away at 5-4 but despite that, MVG produced a 92 checkout to send the nerves jangling especially for Dobey who up to this point hasn't had the best record against the Green Machine.

But he shattered that perception with that 160 checkout and ends Night One with all the headlines.

A DREAM DEBUT FOR DOBEY! 🌴 ABSOLUTELY MAJESTIC FROM DOBEY AS HE WINS ON NIGHT ONE WITH A HUGE 160 FINISH! 💥 Chris Dobey tops the Premier League table on the opening night of action, defeating Michael van Gerwen in a deciding leg to clinch the final in STYLE! 🤩
