Van Gerwen raises the bar with Murray victory on Day Five
Michael van Gerwen laid down a marker with an eye-catching victory over Ryan Murray as the Dutchman began his quest for a fourth World Championship title at London's Alexandra Palace on Saturday.
Van Gerwen produced the performance of the tournament so far, averaging 108.98 in a 3-1 defeat of Scotland's Murray in round two of the William Hill World Darts Championship.
Despite the high average, the world number one didn't have it all his own way as an impressive Murray missed a dart to take the contest to a deciding set having kept pace with Van Gerwen in spells.
