Van Gerwen defuses comeback Aspinall to reach European Championship final

Michael van Gerwen has made it through to the final of the European Championship at the expense of Nathan Aspinall, as he faces Joe Cullen or Rob Cross later in the evening.
Van Gerwen seemed to waste very little energy on his way to the final. Thanks to a 10-darter, 13-darter and two 14-darters, the Dutchman had a 7-1 lead after eight legs.
Mighty Mike then missed doubles in two legs in a row to extend the lead as he helped Aspinall to come back to 7-3 at the second break. Then The Asp even got back to 7-6 and missed two chances to equalise.
Van Gerwen made it 8-6 with a 90 finish, but Aspinall leveled the match in the 18th leg with a stunning 90 checkout for 9-9.
Both players then held their own leg, forcing a deciding leg. Van Gerwen had the throw in that leg and after nine darts he was already on 41. He threw out that finish in two darts to secure his place in the final.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
