    UK Championship final: Best shots

    Well what an epic affair that was.

    And what a deciding frame. That match probably didn't have the potting fireworks expected but it pretty much had everything else.

    It was a superb victory for Neil Robertson, who now has three UK Championship titles to his name plus the record for the most centuries at the tournament.

    You can read about all the drama in Milton Keynes in our report.

    I'm not sure whether I should be saying goodnight or good morning. But that's me done.

    Take care until next time. I'll leave you with this one from Rob.

    Trump 9-10 Robertson

    Steve Davis
    Six-time world champion on BBC Two

    It'll be easier for Trump to forget that pink he missed because there's no crowd. It was a surreal match all day long to go with the surreal times we live in.

    It was a granite final frame and how exciting that snooker can keep generating these amazing moments.

    It was on the cards to be a very hard-fought final because they are top-class players. It was epic, a very sore one for Judd with the pink he missed in the corner right at the end but a very good victory for Neil Robertson.

    More from Neil Robertson to BBC Sport: "When Judd was 9-8 up he made an unbelievable break and if the cannon goes any better it is match over and I made one of the best clearances of my career.

    "The brown to the middle is probably one of the bravest shots I have taken on.

    "It was full of highlights, unbelievable misses and tension. Even without a crowd I am sure everyone at home loved it."

    UK Championship winner Neil Robertson speaking to BBC Sport: "It was unbelievable. What Judd has said after that game I would have been just as gracious.

    "It got so bad it was so good at one stage.

    "There was a lot of good stuff. We like to win frames with big breaks in one visit

    "Maybe because I lost my last two finals I was trying too hard and brought Judd down a bit. But we are both gladiators out there trying to win.

    "A really good friend of mine sadly passed away a few months ago and he was a good one for stats and told me to keep winning one every year. I couldn't do it in the previous two but I am really happy I could get it done for you today."

    Judd Trump

    Judd Trump speaking to BBC Sport: "It was an epic battle, tough to take and I bottled it really. I was under pressure and ended up messing up.

    "I would never have missed form there normally but the whole length of the frame got to me, as well as the pressure and I was trying too hard.

    "It would have made for good viewing but it's devastating for me."

    Someone please tell him.

    Neil Robertson has left the yellow.

    Is this it. No Judd Trump refuses a long green after knocking in the yellow he's put his opponent in trouble behind the brown.

    Neil Robertson hits it no problem but leaves the green on. What drama.

    David Lawson: Anyone know what the latest time a triple crown match has ever finished?

    Stephen Davey: Neil Robertson channeling his inner Peter Ebdon channeling his inner Terry Griffiths here.

    R: Didn’t expect my Monday morning to start like this. Not complaining. The tactical drama.

    Frame 19: Trump 9-9 Robertson

    We've gone past the hour mark. Wow.

    Meanwhile Neil Robertson and Judd Trump look absolutely shattered.

    The Australian concedes five from a snooker and then Trump gets another fortunate snooker on the yellow that could turn out to be a match winner.

    He's [Judd Trump] fluked the snooker. The tension is quite unbearable now. It is just a shame that we don't have a packed house here to watch this final frame.

    Frame 19: Trump 9-9 Robertson

    Neil Robertson was probably red, colour, red away from winning.

    Now Judd Trump is looking like he could pinch it. He plays a brilliant cannon to free up the last red but now he's faced with a horrible, tricky green to get on to the yellow.

    He's going to play safe surely.

    How has he missed that? Neil Robertson looks towards the ceiling in disgust.

    He'd have cut that red into the left corner 99/100 normally.

    Neil Robertson has got this surely. He's 36 ahead with 51 on the table.
