Dave Chisnall says he's "in with a shout" after moving two points behind the Premier League top four as he capitalised on his double-header in Belfast with wins over Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor.
Chisnall opened the night by claiming his first win since week five in Exeter - when he also doubled up, in the absence of Michael van Gerwen - by seeing off Adrian Lewis 7-3.
He then returned to the stage to defeat Phil Taylor 7-2 in the night's final fixture, averaging 104 as he won his fifth game of the season and completed a memorable night.
Two wins helped the 2015 Premier League semi-finalist Chisnall move two points behind the top four ahead of next week's trip to Birmingham where he takes on world No 1 Van Gerwen.
"It's been a great night," said Chisnall. "I'm very pleased with how it's gone and I'm happy to have got the four points tonight.
