Price thrashes out-of-sorts Van Barneveld, sets up semi-final showdown with Anderson at Players Championship 5

The semi-finals are set at Players Championship 5 with a repeat of one of the most discussed matches in recent years in darts between Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson which infamously began 'The Iceman's role as the pantomime villain at the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts.

Anderson continues his incredible resurgence seeing off Chris Landman 6-4, while for Price, it was a battering of Barney as he saw off Raymond van Barneveld 6-1 who only averaged 69.

In the other half, Ross Smith staved off a mini fightback from the ever tenacious Nathan Aspinall. Martin Schindler awaits after seeing off Dirk van Duijvenbode 6-4.
