WRIGHT WINS! It was getting tense in the end for Peter Wright but he claims a superb 10-6 victory over Gerwyn Price to reach the Quarter-Finals
Peter Wright is through to the Quarter-Finals at the European Championship after defeating Gerwyn Price in a thriller.
Both averaged over 100 but it was Wright through after surviving a late comeback after previously going 9-3 up.
He spoke afterwards and does not have his eyes firmly set on the prize as of yet with Wright admitting he is taking it one game at a time going into the final day.
"It's nice to get the win over Gezzy," said Wright. "He's on form at the moment, winning everything and hitting big averages.
"I just wanted to win because Gezzy has got the better of me a couple of times. I'm not relaxing with these darts but when I do, they're going to be awesome.
"At 9-3 up I was thinking about not throwing it away, and he's capable of coming back and winning. He took out the 148 and the 127 and I was doing nothing wrong, so fair play to him.
"I'm still in and still battling so we'll see how it goes. This would be a nice one to win but I'll just take each game as it comes."
