Gary Anderson beats Peter Wright in Wigan final

A day after Michael van Gerwen managed the perfect leg on his way to glory in Saturday's Players Championship Nine event, Snakebite was unable to back up his feat with another tournament triumph of a successful season.

Instead it was his Scottish rival Anderson who stormed to a 6-3 triumph in the final having earlier disposed of van Gerwen in the fourth round.

The world number two dropped only twelve legs on his way to the £10,000 top prize and was dominant throughout the day.

Anderson started with impressive 6-1 and 6-2 wins over Harry Robinson and Mickey Mansell respectively before blowing away Paul Nicholson 6-0.

Anderson then gained revenge over MVG, who had beaten him the day before despite averaging well over 100, with a 6-4 victory.

The two-time world champion was at his ruthless best again in the quarter-finals where he whitewashed Jonny Clayton to claim a place in the last four.

Steve West was also powerless to resist the 46-year-old as Anderson secured a 6-2 win to move in to the final.

Against Wright, he opened up a 3-0 lead including a 124 finish.

The decicive moment of the match came in the sixth leg where Anderson took out 116 on the bullseye to move in to a 5-1 lead with a double break of throw.

Despite a break back from Wright, Anderson secured the win on tops and was delighted with the way he played.

He told the pdc webside: "It went very well today, I played well and am happy with the win. I had an average of about 110 against Michael yesterday so was really nice to get my revenge today.

"These aren't easy to win anymore. There are 128 tops players so you've got to play really well to win one."

Wright's run to the final ended a good seven days for the Scot after claiming his seventh title of the year at the HappyBet German Darts Open the week before.

The event will also be memorable for the 47-year-old as he hit a perfect nine-dart leg in his semi-final victory over Michael Smith.

The world number three hit back-to-back maximums before taking out 141 on double twelve to fight back from 2-0 down to beat Smith.

Earlier in the day he overcame Mike de Decker, Jeffrey de Graaf, Wayne Jones, Jermaine Wattimena, Ryan Searle and then memorably Michael Smith before being defeated by Anderson in the final.

The next set of Players Championship events takes place April 20-21 as the world's best players head to Milton Keynes.
