Raymond van Barneveld beats Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis in Premier League

Defending champion Raymond van Barneveld moves closer to the Premier League playoffs after victories over Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis on Thursday night.

Raymond van Barneveld has taken a huge step towards qualifying for the Premier League playoffs with two victories in Birmingham on Thursday night.

In the second match of the night, the defending champion fought back from 4-0 behind to record a 7-5 win over Gary Anderson, who accused the Dutchman of distracting him when throwing at double for the draw.

Van Barneveld returned at the end of the evening to ease to a 7-2 triumph over Adrian Lewis to move to within two points of a place in the semi-finals.

Lewis also suffered defeat at the hands of Dave Chisnall, who beat the Stoke-on-Trent thrower 7-4 to confirm his spot in the last four.

Michael van Gerwen remains in first place after a 7-4 success over Phil Taylor, but both James Wade and Stephen Bunting have been eliminated after playing out a 6-6 draw.
