Michael van Gerwen endures mixed night in Cardiff

Michael van Gerwen records a 116.90 average in whitewashing James Wade before suffering defeat to Gary Anderson in the Premier League in Cardiff.

Michael van Gerwen has opened up a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table after week 12 of the Premier League in Cardiff.

The world number one was in scintillating form in his opening match of the night, recording an average of 116.90 in whitewashing James Wade.

However, in the final game of the evening, the Dutchman suffered a 7-5 defeat to Gary Anderson after missing two darts to secure a draw.

Anderson had earlier suffered a 7-1 defeat at the hands of Stephen Bunting, who remains in the hunt for a playoff spot after registering his third win of the campaign.

Defending champion Raymond van Barneveld has continued his recent run of impressive results with a 7-5 victory over Dave Chisnall in a performance that included three finishes on the bullseye.

The other game of the evening saw Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis play out a 6-6 draw.
