Gibraltar Darts Trophy 2016: MVG beats Chizzy in final

It was the Dutchman's third successive PDC European Tour success, although he had to survive a quarter-final scare, coming through a final-leg decider against home hope Dyson Parody.

Parody landed seven 180s in a thrilling display as he became the first Gibraltarian in the last eight of a PDC European Tour event, but the home favourite crucially missed three match darts before van Gerwen prevailed in a decider.

Following that scare, van Gerwen was clinical as he restricted Kim Huybrechts to just two darts at doubles in a ruthless 6-0 semi-final victory, averaging 109.92 in the process, before powering past Chisnall in the decider.

Chisnall kicked off the final with a 180, but had to come from two legs down - after van Gerwen took out 82 and 107 - to level by checking out a 13-dart finish and 124 on the bull to level.

Van Gerwen, though, kicked off leg five with two 180s as he regained the lead with an 11-darter, before finishing 106 and 124 in successive legs to lead 5-2, and a fourth straight leg sealed the £25,000 top prize.

Chisnall had also survived match darts - three of them - in his quarter-final against Mensur Suljovic before matching van Gerwen with a brilliant 6-0 semi-final win over Ian White.

World champion Gary Anderson was beaten 6-5 by Huybrechts in the last eight.
