World Darts Chanmpionship: Ricky Evans stuns Simon Whitlock

By Dev Trehan

Ricky Evans pulled off one of the upsets of the 2016 World Darts Championship so far by eliminating Simon Whitlock in a dramatic first round tie at Alexandra Palace.

Whitlock looked in complete control of the match as he raced into a two-set lead before winning the first two legs of the third set to put him within sight of the second round.

But Evans refused to lay down, winning six legs in a row to square things up at two sets apiece.

The match went to tie-breaking legs and with a 5-4 lead in the fifth set, Evans nailed 130 to complete an absolutely stunning come-from-behind win over the Australian.
