Michael van Gerwen produced an incredible 113.79 average to see off Daryl Gurney and reach the Last 16 of the European Darts Open where he will face Jonny Clayton.
Van Gerwen will now aim for a hat-trick of titles this season and said that the crowd deserve a display like that.
"Daryl pushed me in the beginning of the game," said Van Gerwen.
"I missed a few darts here and there and that puts you under pressure. I still had a couple of really good legs.
"To be playing back here in Leverkusen is always good. I also want to do well because I think the crowd here deserve it and I need to make sure I keep my focus going. I feel good but tomorrow is another day."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
