MICHAEL Smith eliminated Gerwyn Price with a 7-2 victory over the Welshman in the latest round of the Unibet Premier League in Belfast.

The pair shared the opening four legs before a stunning four-leg surge from Smith, begun with a 13-dart leg and also featuring a 160 checkout, pulled him clear to 6-2 before double top sealed victory.

The win was Smith's sixth from eight games this season, and the former World Youth Champion admitted: "It wasn't my best performance but I got the job done and winning the two points is all that matters.

"I was trying not to watch Gerwyn because I knew he was under pressure.

"I'm trying to fight and win every match that I can, because I'm playing well away from the Premier League and not producing it on that stage at the moment."
