    A very scrappy night of darts. Not up to the usual standards. Player fatigue?

    Luke Littler looked quite flat. There were points where he was lobbing the darts, not throwing them with the directness that he normally throws. I really do think it was a knock-on from last week.

    He's going to need to get back on the horse soon.

  7. 'Littler can start chasing me again'published at 23:11 BST 9 April

    Result: Clayton 6-5 Van Gerwen

    Night winner Jonny Clayton, speaking to Sky Sports: "I thought the game was over at 5-2 up for Michael. He missed, he gave me a chance. You've got to take chances. That last leg was probably my best of the game. I'm back on top of the table, Luke Littler can start chasing me again.

    On being back at the top of the table: "It feels great to be honest. I know what it's like to be here, I've got the experience, I know what you needd to get to finals night. Take your chances, play decent, you've got a good chance."

    On using the bullseye: "I love a bullseye. At the end of the day, I don't mind the bullseye. Sometimes they go, sometimes they don't. Those two legs, they went."

    On how he approached tonight: "I'd lost to Josh last week and the week before. Josh just hit every double going last week. It puts you under pressure. Tonight I just hoped for two points, anything after that is a bonus. Another trophy for the cabinet, I'm happy."

    On whether the players discuss the table: "Obviously we look at it. We don't discuss it really. You just want to be in that top four. It doesn't matter who you play, you're there. It's anybody's night, hopefully it's going to be mine."

    Michael van Gerwen was 5-2 up.

    But Jonny Clayton pulled it back to 5-5 and hit two maximums in the deciding leg.

    He wraps it up by taking out 41, hitting the nine, then going outside, but then sneaking one into the double 16.

    Clayton 5-5 Van Gerwen

    That was far from perfect from Michael van Gerwen, who has a couple of visits without a treble.

    Jonny Clayton has some poor throws of his own - including a 32.

    But he seals the leg to take it to a decider by taking out 84, finishing on the bull.

    That wass a superb leg from Jonny Clayton. Well, until he hit a single one as he looked for a double 18.

    Michael van Gerwen sets up tops, while Clayton has double 16 left.

    But Clayton takes out the 32 to make it 5-4.

    He couldn't, could he?

    Clayton 3-5 Van Gerwen

    Oh! Michael van Gerwen searched for a 164 to win the match and gets the first treble, but his second dart bounces out.

    He follows it up with another treble 20 to set up 44, but misses both of his darts at double 16 after finding the 12.

    Jonny Clayton goes outside on double eight, then inside, but then pins double four.

    Michael van Gerwen then takes out 80.
