Van Gerwen had previously settled 6-0 with Englishman Nathan Aspinall in the semi-final, but was not involved against Price. The Welshman threw very strong and broke the leg that Van Gerwen started three times in a row. Van Gerwen only managed to win a leg at 5-0, but he could not prevent the victory of ‘The Iceman’, who averaged almost 115 with three arrows.
Like Van Gerwen, Price has now won three rounds in the Premier League. Van Gerwen previously won the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds. Last week in Nottingham he lost to Chris Dobey after he had won his tenth consecutive match in the Premier League against Peter Wright.
