Ronnie O’Sullivan eases past Kyren Wilson to land a sixth world title

A stunning break of 96 finished by a miscue on the final black clinched the victory

Ronnie O’Sullivan moved level with fellow greats Steve Davis and Ray Reardon after surging past Kyren Wilson 18-8 to claim his sixth world snooker title at the Crucible.

Only Stephen Hendry’s seven crowns now stand between the 44-year-old and undisputed acclaim as the greatest player in the modern sport after he wrecked Wilson’s hopes of a final debut win.
