Michael van Gerwen beats Nathan Aspinall to win World Series of Darts

Home favourite Michael van Gerwen claimed his fifth World Series of Darts title after beating Nathan Aspinall in Amsterdam.

The three-time world champion saw off Aspinall 11-4 in the final at AFAS Live.

That came after Van Gerwen had earlier defeated Dimitri van den Bergh 10-8, then produced an 11-10 last-four victory over Luke Humphries featuring a sensational nine-darter, the first in the history of the finals.

Aspinall had got past Keegan Brown 10-5 and then Peter Wright 11-9 in the semis.
