Lewis comes from two sets down to defeat Webster in World Championship epic

Lewis came from two sets down to defeat Darren Webster in a thrilling tie which went to a tiebreak in the end to progress to the Last 16 at this year's World Championship in one fo the best games of the tournament so far.

Webster and Lewis began by going to a deciding set in the first but it was the Demolition Man who hit a brilliant 180 and double 20 to hit the front.

He continued in that vein in the next set by taking out 65 for a 14-darter and he hit a 124 checkout from there to go two up. He romped to the set from there 3-1 as he went halfway to the finishing line hitting a 94 average and 55 percent on the doubles.

The next set went to a decider as well; with huge pressure going onto the shoulders of Jackpot to hold his nerve and halve the deficit. In this decider, Lewis pressured with a 180 and this allowed Webster to fluff his lines missing three set darts; before he went onto hit double 14 to go one set behind.

It went to another decider from there; Lewis once again snatched it with a 91 checkout to come from two down to level the match up.

Despite that his momentum was quelled by Webster who went ahead again as the set went to a deciding leg for a third time; he hit a 72 checkout as a result to regain the upper hand. This was soon wrestled back by 'Jackpot' who smashed in back to back ton plus checkouts in the form of 132 and 124 in brilliant fashion to go one away from levelling again.

Webster replied with a 142 to silence the two time World Champion and he followed that up with a 180 on his throw and went eight darts into a nine-dart finish narrowly missing double 12. Despite that Lewis clamoured to win the set and send it to a final decider.

Webster missed 83 on the bull for a hold of throw; but Lewis couldn't it 125 allowing Webster to pin double four which saw him show some brilliant emotion.

The Norwich ace went one away with a break of throw; but he missed a 120 checkout meaning that Lewis pinned double 12 to bring it back on throw.

Lewis sent it into a tiebreak as a result; as he fired in a seventh 180 and double 20 and he went one away himself showing some true emotion and he concluded it from there.
