Third seed Gerwyn Price beats two-time winner Gary Anderson 7-3
Price missed 11 match darts before clinching the title and gets £500,000
Victory takes Price above Michael van Gerwen to world number one
Anderson 1-4 Price (0-2, sixth set)
We wondered if the occasion of his first World final would get to Gerwyn Price. The Iceman is living up to his nickname at the moment.
Now even better! A 161 checkout, hitting bull and Price has the final in his grasp.
Anderson 1-4 Price (0-1, sixth set)
Price checks out 100; T20 and, of course, D20.
Gerwyn Price gets us going in set number six with the first two darts safely nestled in T20.

Anderson 1-4 Price (1-3, fifth set)
Price is just unstoppable when faced with tops. Again he nails it first time and he's done half the job.
He leads 4-1, first to seven wins the title.
Anderson 1-3 Price (1-2, fifth set)
Anderson misses D20, then D10 but Price misses D9 and that opens the door for the Scot and he walks through it with a D5.
Anderson 1-3 Price (0-2, fifth set)
And there goes the 97. Perfection from Price and again it's D20. He then lets out a roar a WWE wrestler would be proud of.
Anderson not doing much wrong, but Price is in great form.
For the second leg in a row, Anderson comes up with a maximum 180. He gets to the doubles first but misses D9. Price on 97.

It is remarkable to think that seven years ago, former rugby player Gerwyn Price was heading to the PDC Tour darts qualifying school, and now he’s in the world final.
Earlier this year, I took a trip to Q School - to a Wigan leisure centre to discover more about where darting dreams are made.
Anderson 1-3 Price (0-1, fifth set)
It's all Price though. He gets a crucial break of throw in set five, vanishing an 83.
Of course Gary Anderson's not giving up and he starts set five with a 180. That's seven already in the match.
Ex-England international Ray Parlour's backed the wrong player - at the moment.

Anderson 1-3 Price (1-3, fourth set)
As Chase The Sun (oi, oi, oi) plays out at Alexandra Palace, Gerwyn Price is the one bouncing around as he has a 3-1 lead. He is loving tops and that gets him to a two-set advantage.
Seven years ago he won a Tour card at Q School. Now he's up by two sets in the World final. Dream big.
Anderson 1-2 Price (1-2, fourth set)
A reminder of what's at stake. As well as the glory of becoming world champion, a very huge trophy and the top prize of £500,000 is on for the winner.
If Price wins he gets the additional bonus of becoming world number one. He checks out 120, continuing his perfection on D20.
Price leads 2-1 in sets and 2-1 in the fourth.
Anderson 1-2 Price (1-1 fourth set)
Anderson misses a shot at D16 but Price is a bit back so the Scot has another chance. D4 is no good, so on to D2 and, at the second attempt, he nails it.
Price's average is at more than 103. We expected it to be good. It hasn't let us down.
Anderson 1-2 Price (0-1, fourth set)
This is brilliant darts so far. Price is in no-miss mode. An 84 checkout, after an earlier 180 in the leg and that's a great start to set four.
Anderson 1-2 Price (1-3, third set)
Price leads! He finishes off 60 with a 20, D20 and he leads overall.
Anderson 1-1 Price (1-2, third set)
Price hit two 180s in that leg, but it still was not enough. Anderson hits the ultimate checkout T20, T20, bull.
Superb. Absolutely superb.
Anderson 1-1 Price (0-2, third set)
Price is storming through the third set. A 12-darter, followed by a 13-darter, ending with D20 and a 180 in the third leg.
