Anderson thrilled to finally land world title

Darts: Gary Anderson admits it is a special feeling to finally have his hands on the World Darts Championship.

The Scot defeated Phil Taylor in a thrilling final at Alexandra Palace on Sunday to lift the Sid Waddell trophy for the first time.

Anderson’s only previous world final appearance came in 2011 when he was defeated by Adrian Lewis, and the 44-year-old said he was beginning to doubt if he would ever become a world champion.
