Peter Wright lost out in the final of the Gibraltar Darts Trophy to Damon Heta after handfuls of missed match darts from both including a bizarre bust from Wright going into single 20 when tidying up five.

But post match, it was all about Heta as praise was lauded onto the Aussie ace who continues his meteoric rise with his first European Tour title.

"Hats off to Damo," said Wright. "I didn't expect to miss my doubles, and I didn't expect him to miss but hopefully it was entertainment!

"It was his day today. He gave me chances to get back into the match, he was blowing me away and he took his foot off the pedal.

"He's been pushing and pushing but he gets horrible draws and keeps running into the top players.

"He's left home and come over here but now you watch him. He's proven to the world - he beat Michael van Gerwen and me and he can beat anybody in the world, he's brilliant."
