Defending Premier League champion Jonny Clayton stamped his authority on the chasing pack by winning Night Two in style at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.

The 47-year-old Welshman made up for his night-one final defeat to Peter Wright last week with a 6-4 victory over newcomer Joe Cullen.

“It means a lot to me to win in Liverpool, I support Liverpool FC so the city means a lot to me,” said Clayton. “The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic, it’s a shame we have to leave!

“I didn’t play my best in the final but I got over the line and that’s what counts.

“The game against Michael van Gerwen was hard work, I had to be at my very best to win that one.

“I’m Premier League champion for a reason and I’ve got off to a good start this year, so long may it continue.”

Clayton says he makes darts hard for himself, revealing 'me and maths don't get on' after battling through to claim Premier League honours in Liverpool

The former world No 1 appeared in majestic form having earlier dismantled world champion Wright 6-1 in the opening match of the evening.

He sunk two double 18s for a huge 129 finish and a 3-1 lead before extending his advantage by taking out 94, but Clayton showed his class to turn a pulsating contest on its head and reach the final.

Better than last week but still not the win I wanted. Well done to @JonnyClay9 it was a phenomenal game. I know my game is close, now for the Pro Tour this weekend.
Thank you for all the support tonight in Liverpool 💚💚 pic.twitter.com/ZD3MhgIafh
