Night 7 Recap
A poor start from Taylor gifted Van Gerwen an early lead, with the Englishman missing four darts at the doubles. A 114 checkout saw Taylor equalise, but Van Gerwen then proceeded to win four more successive legs to take a commanding lead, taking out double 10 and double nine along the way.
The Power looked dead and buried, but an 84 finish on the bull reinvigorated him and he soon took out 65 and an outstanding 120 to move within one of his opponent. Sky Sports Darts highlighted the remarkable turnaround:
Van Gerwen responded to the comeback in style, as Sky Sports Darts revealed:
The Dutchman then crucially missed three match darts as Taylor reduced the deficit once more, and the Englishman was eventually rewarded for his Herculean effort with a deserved point, per PDC Darts:
Taylor revealed his determination to beat the world No. 1:
Van Gerwen, meanwhile, said to draw from four legs up felt like a defeat:
Anderson kicked off the night against Lewis, and despite the latter throwing four maximums, he raced into a 4-1 lead.
Lewis looked to be fighting back strongly as Anderson struggled to close out the game with three match darts at 6-4, but eventually Anderson was able to seal the win with a double 12, per PDC Darts:
The Scot received the support of the partisan home crowd but was displeased at the treatment his opponent endured, per Live Darts:
In his second match, the Flying Scotsman faced compatriot Wright, and the latter drew first blood with a maximum and a double eight finish.
The pair continued to trade legs until a second two-tops finish from Anderson saw him move 6-5 ahead, and after three missed darts from Wright to claim a point, he finished him off with a double five:

Wade got off to the perfect start against Thornton as he hit 180 with his first three darts before sealing the first leg with a stunning 124 checkout. The former repeatedly edged ahead before being pegged back by the latter, but Wade grabbed a vital break to go 5-3 up after some loose darts from Thornton.
The Machine won the next leg—his third in a row—and after Thornton earned a brief stay of execution, he sealed the win, his fifth from eight matches. Wade was pleased with the result, per PDC Darts:
Van Barneveld grabbed a crucial win against Chisnall with both embroiled in the battle to avoid elimination.
Barney got off to a strong start as he took the first two legs, but Chisnall fought his way back to go 3-2 up. Van Barneveld then won four consecutive legs including this incredible 161 finish, per Sky Sports Darts:
A missed match dart gave Chisnall a brief respite, but the Dutchman soon wrapped up the points, per PDC Darts:
The 48-year-old will likely be able to kick on and pick up more points in the coming weeks, particularly with the motivation of reaching Rotterdam in Week 15.
Chisnall is now firmly in danger of elimination, though, so he'll need to turn his poor form around as soon as possible.
