Michael van Gerwen eyes era of darting dominance

Van Gerwen dominated the final, which included a match-record 42 180s, finishing with an average of 108.06 and completing five ton-plus finishes.

Michael van Gerwen has warned his rivals he is capable of making further improvements after completing a glittering year by winning a second PDC World Championship.

The Dutchman ended a three-year wait for another world title, after first triumphing at Alexandra Palace in 2014, with a 7-3 victory over defending champion Gary Anderson on Sunday night.
