Gary Anderson is determined to still be in the race for a play-off place when he renews his rivalry with Michael van Gerwen on home turf.
Anderson saw off Raymond van Barneveld 7-4 in the PDC Premier League at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham.
It was a crucial win for ‘the Flying Scotsman,’ with the two players tied on 14 points before toeing the oche together.
Two-time world champion Anderson now moves on to a Premier League slugfest with James Wade in Sheffield, before facing van Gerwen in Aberdeen.
It was MvG who denied him a third consecutive world title in January but, this time, Anderson would settle for beating him to get into the play-offs. He spoke to Craig Birch.
