Van Gerwen rules the world

Michael van Gerwen completed a remarkable 12 months by claiming his second PDC World Championship title with a stunning 7-3 victory over Gary Anderson at Alexandra Palace.

The Dutchman was in a league of his own as he came from behind to beat Anderson, who was aiming for a third world crown on the bounce, and claim a 26th title of a remarkable year.

The match, as expected, started at a frantic pace, with the two scoring heavily before Van Gerwen took out 122 in the first leg.
