    2020 UK Championship final: Best shots

    Neil Robertson edged past world number one Judd Trump 10-9 in the 2020 final to win his third UK Championship.

    An electrifying contest of high breaks and impeccable cue ball control was expected, but it was a tactical fight.

    They were locked at 4-4 after the first session, and there was no more than one frame between them throughout.

    Robertson's 72 made it 9-9 and he won it after Trump missed a straightforward final pink in the hour-long decider.

    The Australian collected the trophy and £200,000 in prize money at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, for the first UK Championship to take place without any spectators in attendance.
