Gary Anderson, who beat Phil Taylor in a thrilling final last year, said he threw some good darts "and some bad ones".

"I'm getting old now so I'll take this," he said.

"It would be lovely to come back for a third but the body is hurting. Us older ones are running out, but I'll plod on."

Lewis, the 30-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent, tasted defeat in the final for the first time after victories in 2011 and 2012, the first of which was also against Anderson.

Englishman Lewis fought back for 6-5 before Anderson made a superb 170 checkout en route to a £300,000 prize.

He joins Phil Taylor, Lewis and John Part in winning the tournament at least twice.

The former England defender has just tweeted...

No early joy for England in Cape Town.

Another solid result for Tottenham then, but more frustration for Everton, whose fans had already witnessed successive home defeats by Leicester and Stoke.

Boss Roberto Martinez seemed fairly upbeat though, saying: "I feel satisfied. We saw two very good teams who want to play in a similar manner.

"We never lost the defensive intensity. It is not something we have had at home and it has cost us points, but my players were immense in that respect.

"They just could not find the final pass in certain moments when maybe they could get the winning goal."

Dele Alli, signed by Spurs from MK Dons, has been the source of real excitement this season. It was easy to see why at Goodison Park as the tall, athletic midfield man looked the complete package and a player who has a golden future for club and country.

The 19-year-old showed he was prepared to mix it in the physical exchanges before growing into the game, showing superb technique to control Toby Alderweireld's long pass and slide a composed, precise finish past Tim Howard.

And what will prove of real interest to England manager Roy Hodgson, as well as Pochettino of course, is that Alli appears to have forged a natural link with Harry Kane.

The pair looked dangerous when Alli pushed into forward positions - a partnership that should bring rich rewards for Spurs and England in the future.

Roy Hodgson must have been purring after watching Dele Alli's display in Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Everton on Sunday.

Ali must surely be a cert to make Hodgson's England squad for the Euro's after turning in yet another eye-catching performance at the heart of Spurs midfield.

He levelled after Aaron Lennon struck against his former club to give the Toffees the lead.

Alli has scored or assisted six goals in his past seven Premier League appearances - three goals, three assists - while Spurs are unbeaten in their past nine top-flight games on the road.

Chelsea players "let everybody down" by starting the season so poorly, according to captain John Terry.

"It's unfortunate what's happened," Terry said, referring to Mourinho's exit. "We feel like we've let everyone down."

The Blues moved up to 14th in the table with victory at palace, but remain a massive 19 points behind leaders Arsenal.  

"We are where we are, and slowly climbing the Premier League table," added Terry. "Guus has come in, picked things up and we've had to go again."

Chelsea's away form in the first half of the season has been dire, with just six points collected on their travels. Only bottom two clubs Aston Villa and Sunderland have fared worse.

In beating seventh-placed Palace for their first away win since August, the Blues made a convincing case that the second half of the season might be more fruitful.

The one disappointment for Hiddink was the injury to Eden Hazard, which ended the Belgian's match after just 15 minutes.

Ben Stokes was the main reason for that - reaching 200 off 163 balls, the fastest double century by an Englishman and the second fastest ever.

"I probably won't play like this ever again in my life, but I've done it once so at least I can say that," said a rather delighted Stokes, who had made only one fifty in his previous 13 innings.
