Simon Whitlock 8-1 Terry Jenkins
Simon Whitlock picked up his second successive win premier league win with an 8-1 thrashing against Terry Jenkins.
The Australian followed up last weeks victory against James Wade with an impressive victory hitting four 180's and 40% checkout success to celebrate his 42nd birthday in style.
The defeat was Jenkins third in succession as he was restricted to only four darts at a double during the contest, with Whitlock showing his intentions from the start with an 11 dart leg.
Whitlock said after the game "It's a second successive win for me and I'm pretty pleased with that. I wanted a big win and I have managed to do that.
Mark Webster 8-2 Adrian Lewis
Mark Webster produced a sensational performance to average 110 in powering past the world champion Adrian Lewis to win 8-2.
Webster bounced back superbly from an 8-1 trouncing by Gary Anderson a week ago to leave Lewis reeling with his finest television display.
The Welshman took out three ton-plus finishes in hitting eight doubles from 10 attempts, and his average of 110.19 has only been bettered by Phil Taylor since the premier league began in 2006.
Webster said afterwards "I was atrocious last week but this performance has put that well and truly behind me."
Gary Anderson 8-3 James Wade
Gary Anderson's brilliant start continued as an 8-3 win over James Wade gave him a fourth straight win.
The Scot's unbeaten opening to a debut premier league darts campaign sees him head into next week's clash with reigning champion Phil Taylor in the perfect fashion.
He condemned Wade, the 2009 league champion to a third loss in four matches as Anderson punished him throughout the contest.
Anderson said afterwards "It's four out of four and I'm over the moon with that."
Phil Taylor 8-3 Raymond van Barneveld
Phil Taylor defeated long standing rival Raymond van Barneveld 8-3 to storm to a third straight win.
Taylor was unplayable for most of the match and was 6-0 up at the break. After the break, Barney showed amazing character to win the next 3 legs but Taylor punished the Dutchman's missed doubles to take the win.
The highlight was the 147 checkout by Phil Taylor which was the cherry on Taylor's already large cake.
In Taylor's post match interview, he said "If I won the seventh leg then i would have won 8-0 but he started clawing back at me."
