ADRIAN LEWIS admitted that he was "lost for words" following his stunning Betway Premier League nine-dart finish against James Wade in Belfast.
The brilliant Stoke star produced a moment of magic at The SSE Arena as he landed the first nine-dart finish in the Premier League since 2012, when Simon Whitlock achieved the feat in the semi-finals against Andy Hamilton.
Lewis found himself trailing 5-4 against James Wade - having led 4-1 at one stage - when he kicked off the tenth leg with a 180 and then landed a 177 score.
The 31-year-old then stepped up to the oche to coolly finish 144 with two further treble 20s and double 12, bringing over 7,000 fans inside the Belfast venue to their feet in delight.
The nine-darter was Lewis' fourth on television, including two previous World Championship perfect legs, and the Stoke ace - who also achieved perfection in a Players Championship six days earlier - went on to cap a memorable night by completing a 7-5 victory over Wade.
"I'm lost for words - it's a really special moment for me," said Lewis. "I took a 4-1 lead and I thought I was cruising, and before I knew it James was 5-4 up, he dug in really well and fair play to him.
"It got to the stage where I needed a massive leg, and I didn't expect the nine-darter to come from it. To hit the nine-darter in front of this crowd is unbelievable, brilliant. I'm over the moon.
"I've hit a couple of nine-darters recently and I'm really pleased with my form. It was a massive game because Wadey's on my tail and I knew I needed a win."
Lewis donated his playing shirt from the game, along with the signed match dartboard, to Parkinson's UK, the PDC's official charity partner.
The unique prize will be used to raise funds towards Sky Sports presenter Dave Clark's Coast-To-Coast walk in September - with any donations of £2 or more via Dave's JustGiving page before 12pm on Thursday May 12 seeing the donor entered into a raffle.
The lucky winner will also be offered a pair of complimentary tickets to the Betway Premier League Play-Offs on Thursday May 19 at The O2 in London, where they would be presented with the shirt and signed board. Any winner unable to attend the event would receive the prize via an alternative method.

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN and Phil Taylor set up a showdown for the Betway Premier League's new £25,000 league leaders bonus in Rotterdam with victories as the tournament visited Manchester on Thursday, where reigning champion Gary Anderson sealed his Play-Off spot.
Van Gerwen's 7-2 win against Dutch rival Raymond van Barneveld was followed by Taylor's triumph by the same scoreline in their all-Stoke contest to leave the pair locked on 24 points at the top of the table.
With the 2016 season having seen the introduction of a £25,000 bonus for the player who tops the league table at the end of the regular season, the battle to secure that prize will fittingly conclude on the final league night as van Gerwen and Taylor clash in front of 10,000 fans in Rotterdam.
Van Gerwen averaged a superb 108 in his defeat of van Barneveld, who could only watch on as his rival missed double 12 for a nine-dart finish during the clash before the world number one sealed victory with checkouts of 122 and 167.
"I had a little bit of pressure because I can still win the league and win the tournament but Raymond had nothing to lose and that's dangerous," said van Gerwen. "I was maybe trying too hard at the start but I thought it was a very good game.
"I tried for the nine-darter and it's frustrating that the double 12 didn't go in but it was most important at this stage of the season to get the win and I did that.
"I want to win in front of my home crowd next week and to finish at the top of the table. I want to play well and I'm ready to rumble in Ahoy."
Taylor, meanwhile, reeled off six straight legs to come from 2-1 down against Lewis to sweep to victory with an average of almost 104 to maintain the pressure on van Gerwen.
"It was a weird game, nervy for both of us," said Taylor. "It's at the nitty-gritty where everybody's scrambling for points so I'm just pleased to get the win and I'll get ready for Rotterdam.
"Me and Michael are going to have a cracker next week. He's on his home turf and it's going to be strange, but it's all about that £25,000 bonus. I wanted to qualify for the Play-Offs and I've done that and then I set my sights on the bonus for finishing top, and it's a massive incentive.
"Michael's a phenomenal player and he does it week in and week out - he's brilliant but I'll be ready for him and it's going to be interesting next week and I'll enjoy it."
Lewis now sits just one point ahead of Peter Wright in the race for fourth place, with the Scot having ended James Wade's Play-Off hopes with a crushing 7-1 win from their contest in Manchester.
"I had to keep the pressure on Adrian and I've done that tonight," said Wright, who meets van Barneveld in Rotterdam. "James had a lot of chances and missed his doubles, and I punished him because it could have been the same scoreline in his favour.
"I've still got a chance now in Rotterdam next week to get into the Play-Offs and I'll be doing everything I can against Barney to achieve that."
Anderson, meanwhile, secured third place and a semi-final spot as he overcame Scottish rival Robert Thornton 7-1 with a clinical display to continue his bid to retain the prestigious title by ensuring his place at The O2 on May 19.
"I was very nervous and if Robert had hit his doubles it could have been a different game, so I'm happy to have got the two points," said Anderson. "It's good to be back at The O2.
"I'm happy with the way things are going and to be in the Play-Offs now. I scraped through the first 12 or 13 weeks but anything can happen on finals night. The last two times I've been in the Play-Offs, I've finished third and then won the final so hopefully that can happen again."
The Betway Premier League's visit to Rotterdam Ahoy will be the tournament's first visit to the Netherlands, with tickets having sold out within an hour of going on general sale last October.
The following week sees the top four players head to The O2 in London to compete in the Play-Offs. Tickets for the Play-Offs are still available via www.theo2.co.uk or by calling 0844 856 0202.
