World Darts Championship hopeful Gerwyn Price had the motivation he needed to make rival Raymond van Barneveld "zip it" en route to a one-sided win at Alexandra Palace.
'The Iceman' eviscerated 'Barney' 4-0 on Tuesday to clinch his maiden televised win over the Dutch darts giant, who overpowered Price twice in the space of five days at last month's Grand Slam of Darts. But the WDC's top seed was overjoyed to end his televised duck in this particular matchup, illustrating to Sky Sports just what the win meant to him.
"I just wanted to get a win over Raymond so he can zip it a little bit and not keep talking about how many times he’s beat me on TV," said Price after the result. "I don’t think he’s been on any TV events the last couple of years so it’s pretty difficult to beat him if he’s not there.
