Michael van Gerwen overcomes Gary Anderson in Premier League

Michael van Gerwen maintains his 100% record in the 2015 Premier League after recording a 7-4 win over Gary Anderson in Liverpool.

Michael van Gerwen has completed a 7-4 victory over Gary Anderson to maintain his 100% record at the start of the 2015 Premier League.

The Dutchman trailed during the early stages of the contest in Liverpool as both men struggled on their doubles, but the world number one took six of the final seven legs to edge out the 2015 world champion.

Dave Chisnall has moved into second spot in the table after taking the final leg of his match with James Wade to earn a share of the spoils.

Six-time winner Phil Taylor followed up last week's comfortable win over Adrian Lewis by beating hometown favourite Stephen Bunting by a 7-1 scoreline.

Lewis had looked on course to return to winning ways against Kim Huybrechts, but the Belgian thrower held his nerve in the final leg to earn his first Premier League point.

Defending champion Raymond van Barneveld should have registered his first triumph of the tournament after opening up 5-1 and 6-3 leads over Peter Wright, only to see the Scottish representative fight back to claim a 6-6 draw.
