Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor secure victories in Premier League in Dublin

Michael van Gerwen has ended Adrian Lewis's unbeaten start to the 2016 Premier League by recording a 7-4 victory in Dublin.

The Stoke-on-Trent thrower had overturned an early deficit to lead 4-3 but Van Gerwen reeled off the final four legs to claim his second win of the tournament.

Phil Taylor has also moved to four points after finishing strongly to see off world champion Gary Anderson by a 7-4 scoreline.

However, it is Peter Wright who tops the standings after he registered a third successive win in seeing off James Wade, also by a margin of 7-4.

Debutant Michael Smith has got his first points on the board after he earned a 6-6 draw against fellow St Helens thrower Dave Chisnall.

In the final game of the evening, Raymond van Barneveld completed a 7-5 triumph over Robert Thornton after his opponent had missed one dart to claim a draw.
