Knee injury

He also revealed on Sky Sports which was discussed further a knee injury which is giving him some issues.

"It's just down to practice and getting fat and too much weight. It's just a build up of liquid under my kneecap and I've just felt it. It wasn't comfortable the other day so lucky enough I brought one of those knee straps with me and I've had it on all afternoon today and through that match. It's on fire at the moment."

180 record

During the tie, he beat the 180 record producing 24 in a game but he believes he should have had more.

"I knew I hit lots of 180's but obviously I didn't know it was 24. That's really good but to be honest, it should have been a lot more."
