Steve West is the final player through to the Quarter-Finals at the European Championship after dispelling an incredible fightback from Mensur Suljovic.
Suljovic came from 7-3 down to force a decider but in a dramatic conclusion, West smashed in a brilliant 106 checkout to snatch the tie away 10-9.
West eased into a 4-1 lead at the first break with a 144 checkout en route as he took the early impetus and this continued from there with 'Simply' seemingly heading towards the finishing line with a 7-3 lead with a 99.8 average and 53% on the doubles.
From there though, Suljovic got himself suddenly back into it. He claimed back to back legs with an 80 checkout to make it 7-5. West gave himself a cushion again at 8-6 but this was soon eroded.
Suljovic broke to make it parity and claim five out of the last six legs at 8-8. West attempted to dispel this by taking out 90 for a 12-dart break and a 9-8 advantage.
But it went all the way to a decider with Suljovic taking out 84 with Bull, Double 17. West was first to a finish on 161 but left himself 106. Suljovic himself left himself double 20 with a 127 set up but West pinned 106 to claim the tie brilliantly.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
