Michael van Gerwen has won the World Series of Darts Finals for the fifth time in his career. 'Mighty Mike' triumphed 11-4 against Nathan Aspinall in the final.

Van Gerwen had his easiest match of the tournament in the final. The Vlijmen native booked hard-fought wins over William O'Connor (6-4), Dimitri van den Bergh (10-8) and Luke Humphries (11-10) to qualify for the final. So in that, Aspinall was the opponent. The Englishman dealt with Danny Noppert (6-3), Keegan Brown (10-5) and Peter Wright (11-9), but failed to make an energetic impression in the final against Van Gerwen.

Already in the fourth leg Van Gerwen had a break via a 15-darter. Aspinall got that break back, but a second break from Van Gerwen followed in the sixth leg with a 14-darter. Mighty Mike' then ran out a 160 finish, 14-darter and 18-darter to take a 7-3 lead.

To the break, the deficit continued to increase for Aspinall. Van Gerwen made it 10-3, before Aspinall could add one more leg to his tally. That was all, as Van Gerwen then threw himself to the title in Amsterdam with a 14-darter.
