Michael Smith is through to the Quarter-Finals of the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship after a classic win over Jonny Clayton at the Alexandra Palace.

Smith denied Clayton the chance to add to his four TV titles as he searches for his first major glory.

"That deserved to be the final, it was a great game,” said Smith.

“Jonny is a class player but, going into the game, I just kept telling myself that I’ve got the game to beat anybody. I’ve always believed that.

“I won’t be getting carried away. It’s only one game and I had poor spells. Jonny played so well that he brought a better level out in me.

“In the past I’ve probably been guilty of wanting it too much so I’m not making that mistake this year. I will focus on my darts and see how far that attitude can take me.”
