Smith looks back on World Championship win over Taylor: 'I was never worried'

Smith was down a set on three occasions but kept his cool to send it to sudden death in the final set and he struck with a 128 finish on the bullseye.

Speaking about it he said because it was first to four he was never worried and when they went 3-3, he was really pleased and up for the task.

"It was first to four sets, I was never worried," Smith recalls.

"I knew if he went 2-0 up that then would be time to start panicking, as long as I got it to 1-1 then each set, we just broke each other.

"No one held their throw until the last set because Phil won the bull and gave me the darts. So, when we went 3-3, I thought happy days and I managed to hold my throw and win that last set."
