Wright was flawless on the doubles during Night One against eventual league leader, Jonny Clayton and only once before ''Snakebite' had a player won or claimed a point with 100%.

That was Simon Whitlock all the way back in 2014. While for De Sousa, it was a scoring record that was beaten.

Gary Anderson beat the 180 record back in 2011 hitting eleven 180's while during a tie which also saw Jose de Sousa hit a nine-dart finish, he matched the record in question.

In 2011, Gary Anderson hit ELEVEN 180s in a Premier League game, making it a record. Tonight, Jose De Sousa hit ELEVEN to match the record, with a NINE-DARTER to boot. The Special One doing special things. 🇵🇹
