Jonny Clayton further extends his lead at the top of the Premier League by winning Week 13 in Glasgow, beating rival Michael van Gerwen in the final.

Jonny Clayton has further extended his lead at the top of the Premier League table by winning Week 13 in Glasgow.

The Welshman went into Thursday's action with three wins and two runners-up places already achieved, and that has been strengthened with another strong showing.

Clayton dropped just nine legs in victories over James Wade, Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen, performances which have given him a six-point lead in the table.

In the final, Van Gerwen, who is in second position, kept pace with Clayton, but the frontrunner put on a three-leg surge to seal the win with a 99.81 average.

While Wade and Peter Wright both suffered quarter-final exits on Thursday, they remain in control of third and fourth respectively, helped by fifth-placed Joe Cullen losing to Van Gerwen.

Michael Smith posted a 6-3 triumph over Gerwyn Price, but a 100.01 average was not enough as he succumbed in a last-leg decider to Van Gerwen in the last four.
