Michael van Gerwen steamrolled Rob Cross 8-2 and overtook him at the top of Premier League Darts in Cardiff on Thursday.

Suljovic kept pressure on the top four with a methodical win over Gurney, in which a 105 checkout was the highlight.
Cross went 2-0 up but crucially missed a 125 finish for a third leg in a row. Van Gerwen turned the match on its head in the blink of an eye and went 3-2 up.
Van Gerwen had suddenly found his rhythm and a brilliant 12 darts secured a fifth consecutive leg.
With both players then stuck on 40, Van Gerwen reached the finish line first to go 6-2 up. With Cross' race run, the world No 1 sauntered back to the pinnacle of the league.
Price stole the show in his home country of Wales with a standout victory to the delight of the crowd.
Often booed for his on-stage antics, Price was in the rare position of being favoured but responded with a victory that kept him in the play-off hunt.
A stunning moment saw Smith hit a 170, only for Price to repeat the trick in the very next leg. An 11-dart leg closed the show.
Wade ground out a victory to keep himself from dropping out of the play-off spots against 'Snakebite', who used bizarre rubber darts.
