Nathan Aspinall fired a warning to his rivals after booking his place in the last 16 of the PDC World Darts Championships with a 4-0 win over Andrew Gilding at Alexandra Palace.

The 33-year-old Aspinall did not have to be on his best form to beat his below-par opponent and maintain hopes of emulating his back-to-back semi-final appearances in 2019 and 2020.
