Michael van Gerwen was subjected to a heavy defeat against Glen Durrant on the eighth night of the Premier League. He lost out 7-3 and the latter also kept his unbeaten record against the World Number One.

“I think that we both started the match very poorly”, Van Gerwen said to RTL 7. “Afterwards I failed to put him under pressure and then he started playing really good." “He rarely throws as well as he does today, so you are fed up. It was not terribly bad for me, but it must be better in the coming days and I will also show that I am capable of that.

” He also seemed to be quite irritated on stage. “Mainly about my own game, not so much about him. I also think it's right that I started to get irritated, then you just know that things have to be better.
