The win eliminates Dobey from contention and leaves Aspinall four points clear of the fourth spot. Gerwyn Price showcased a nine-dart finish in his quarter-final match against Bunting, although he ultimately lost. Young star Luke Littler also made headlines by defeating world No. 1 Luke Humphries in a tightly contested quarter-final to secure the top seed for the O2 finals.
Aspinall's victory leaves him four points clear in fourth spot, eliminating Dobey, while Michael van Gerwen would need to win the final night in Sheffield to overhaul him.
I felt very confident coming into tonight, I bottled it last week but tonight is a new night. Aspinall said.
