PDCWednesday, 26 August 2020 at 19:12
Gerwyn Price has returned to winning ways in the Premier League Darts in emphatic fashion with a brilliant win over Gary Anderson 7-1 with a 99 average.
Price didn't have the best time on Tuesday night losing out to Nathan Aspinall with his doubling a major issue as well as the crowd noise he later revealed.
He produced a strong start though hitting a 180 and double 20 for a 14-dart opening leg. This continued with a hold of throw with an 11-darter hitting a second 180 and double 10.
Four missed darts at doubles from Anderson allowed Price to claim a 3-0 lead and this was consolidated with a break of throw at 4-0 up as he looked to be cruising.
Anderson had what in the end was a consolation hitting a 116 checkout to make it 4-1. This was soon dispelled though by Price who had a hold and another break to go within one and assure himself of a point.
This was confirmed with a 14 darter as he hit as Anderson missed an 81 checkout chance and Price pinned 25 to win.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
