Peter Wright claimed a vital win over Premier League leader Glen Durrant winning 8-6 to end his unbeaten run and also keep Michael van Gerwen in particular at arms length in the race for the play-offs.

Wright spoke afterwards and was pleased to claim victory in an important tie for his play-off ambitions; albeit with admitting he got away with it against Durrant.
"I needed the win because the pressure was on; and it was two important points," said Wright.
"I've shown everyone that I can win ugly as well. I felt really good and I don't know what happened on stage - neither of us were at our best and I got away with it.
"Glen's qualified and it must have been hard for him tonight but it means a lot if I can get into the Play-Offs."
