"I'm so pleased for him because I feared for him. He had a little wobble the last 48 hours but that was some display by the pair of them but things have been going wrong for Jonny the past few nights. Everything came together there. Showed how good he is and he deserves to be in the last four of the Premier League," said Webster on Sky Sports.

"He'll fancy it against Michael van Gerwen, he's beat him more times than he's beat him this year and he won't worry about that. He's the more relaxed player out of the four for me. Really unfortunate for Dimitri but great performance from Jonny."
