Michael van Gerwen edges out Dave Chisnall for top spot in Premier League

Michael van Gerwen finishes top of the Premier League table after drawing 6-6 with Dave Chisnall in Brighton on Thursday night.

Michael van Gerwen has finished top of the Premier League table after securing a dramatic 6-6 draw with Dave Chisnall.

With the score at 5-5, Chisnall hit a 161 checkout to move to within a leg of snatching top spot from Van Gerwen, but the St Helens thrower could only leave 66 after 15 darts before Van Gerwen returned to hit a 103 checkout to earn a share of the spoils.

Van Gerwen will face Raymond van Barneveld in next week's playoff semi-finals after his Dutch compatriot saw off Stephen Bunting by a 7-4 scoreline.

Chisnall will go head to head with world champion Gary Anderson after the Scot overturned an early deficit to record a 7-3 win against Adrian Lewis.

In the opening game of the evening, Phil Taylor eased to a 7-1 triumph over James Wade.
