On the ninth night of action in the Premier League Darts,
Michael van Gerwen lost in a heavy 7-3 defeat to Jonny Clayton who once again got the better of the World Number One.
As a result, MVG drops to third place in the table and has shown inconsistency after his dazzling brilliance at times this week.
"Nothing worked, everything I tried went wrong", Van Gerwen opens to RTL 7. "After that, I started throwing too tightly. Jonny started not great either, but I was not able to do more and then of course he got a lot of confidence. "
Not enough points, set for Super Series
Van Gerwen closes the first nine days of the Premier League with eleven points and is now in third place in the table. "This week's conclusion is that I have achieved two points too few."
"However, nothing has been lost yet, everyone is still close together. I look forward to playing in Germany this weekend, although I will have to flip the switch after this weak performance ", the 31-year-old Dutchman concluded.
