Jonny Clayton was taken to the limit by Niels Zonneveld before moving into the last 16 of the PDC World Championship for a fifth successive year.

Clayton had to be somewhere near his best in a nip-and-tuck third round affair, in which the Welshman moved a set up three times only for Zonneveld to level on each occasion.
