  Michael van Gerwen hit the top of the Premier League with another stellar showing, while Phil Taylor looks to be returning to his best - what did we learn from another thrilling night of darts? How were we going to follow Aberdeen and Van Gerwens record-breaking 123. Nike Air Max 97 Offerta .4 average? Well the Dutchman dropped a cheeky 116.7 average, the fourth highest in the competition and the sixth highest in history.Mighty Mike dropped the first leg but found his rhythm soon after, winning seven of the next eight in scintillating style. It wasnt for lack of competition. Peter Wright averaged 109 and didnt miss a double, but Van Gerwen gave the flamboyant Scot very little opportunity to finish a leg. Having defended his Masters and Dutch Masters titles, Van Gerwen got back to where he feels he belongs in the Premier League with victory over Wright seeing him leapfrog Snakebite to take top spot heading into this weekends UK Open.Taylor looks like he is showing signs of being back to his very best following another commanding performance and there was a very welcome first victory of the competition for Michael Smith. But on a raucous night in Exeter, it was Van Gerwen who once again stole the show.Darts weve never seenVan Gerwen continued in imperious form, beating Wright 7-2 to take top spot for the first time and another incredible performance led Sky Sports expert Wayne Mardle to question whether the Dutchman is overtaking Taylor as the greatest player ever.It is debatable because you cant compare the two. Phil Taylor was utterly dominant in an era of good players, but nowhere near the quality of today. Since October 2012, Michael van Gerwen has dominated like Phil Taylor did back in the day. He won 18 tournaments last year and looks like an absolute machine. No one on this planet has ever played darts like Michael van Gerwen is right now, including Phil Taylor. Wayne Mardle on Michael van Gerwen Van Gerwens 116.7 average means that his last two performances are the best of his Premier League career, and he was pleased with his form.Im really glad I brought the confidence through from last week, Van Gerwen told Sky Sports.You need to be confident and focused otherwise you cant perform at this level. Im always trying to do my best, and Ill try to do even better next week.Wayne Mardle was full of praise for the Dutchman, who will face heavy scoring Dave Chisnall in Nottingham next week.He said: Michael van Gerwen is becoming unplayable. Its darts like weve never seen. No one on this planet has ever played darts like Michael van Gerwen is right now, including Phil Taylor. Wayne Mardle and Rod Harrington debate whether Michael van Gerwen can replace Phil Taylor as the best darts player of all time Off the markMichael Smith won his first ever Premier League match, beating Raymond van Barneveld 7-5 to keep hopes of a play-off place alive.It was an edgy affair, with both players missing big opportunities. Smith, who went 3-1 up in the early stages, had chances for a 5-2 lead, but instead saw himself pegged back to 4-4 by the Dutchman.Nerves were evident in the ninth when Smith, only requiring double top, threw high to allow Barney in to steal the advantage. Bully Boy had the last word though, as he stormed back to grasp victory.The timing couldnt be better for Smith, as he faces mentor and manager Gary Anderson next week. Michael Smith recorded his first victory of his debut Premier League campaign (Pic courtesy Lawrence Lustig/PDC) Powers point to proveTaylor kept the pressure on Van Gerwen, beating Adrian Lewis 7-1 in the opening match of the night. The Power, whose average of 115 last week was overshadowed by Van Gerwen, followed it up with a 104 in Exeter, giving Lewis no opportunity to build momentum.It was a tough night for Jackpot, who never found his rhythm, missing a few key doubles in the early legs. After an opportunity to take the second leg went begging, Lewis quickly found himself 5-0 down and the contest was effectively over. Premier League Night Five Report from Thursdays action in Nottingham Lewis has still never won a match in Exeter but he did avoid the whitewash, taking the sixth leg, before Taylor took the last two, and the six-time Premier League winner was keen to eradicate the memories of watching last years finals on TV.Taylor said: I sat at home, watching the O2 last year, and I was gutted. Ive been practicing hard, changed a few things, and Im hoping for the O2. Thats what Im after.Friendship with no benefitsJames Wade kept pressure on those at the top of the table, beating close friend Dave Chisnall 7-4. Both players missed clinical opportunities, and Wade put the faults down to their friendship away from the oche.I spend a lot of time with Dave throughout the season, Wade told Sky Sports. James Wades sizzling 161 checkout against Dave Chisnall was the biggest finish of the night Its hard to play a true friend, and thats why I think Dave didnt play as well tonight, and maybe why I didnt play as well as I can.The win was important for Wade who, despite posting good numbers, had lost his last two matches. The result keeps him just two points from the top.A champions grit Gary Anderson defeated fellow Scot Robert Thornton in a scrappy match (Pic by Lawrence Lustig) Reigning Premier League champion and two time champion of the world Gary Anderson notched his second win of the season against an erratic Robert Thornton, claiming a 7-4 win as both players failed to punish the others mistakes.Anderson found himself 3-0 down, having failed to make a double in seven attempts. However the Flying Scotsman dug deep, punishing Thorntons inaccuracies to win seven of the next eight legs and take the game despite a sub-90 average.Both players have struggled for form, and it doesnt get any easier for the Thorn, who faces Phil Taylor in Nottingham next week.  Premier League NIght Six - Fixtures Michael Smith v Gary Anderson Peter Wright v Adrian Lewis Raymond van Barneveld v James Wade Robert Thornton v Phil Taylor Dave Chisnall v Michael van Gerwen Also See: MVG goes top after Wright victory WATCH: The best ever?

Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents. RIO DE JANEIRO -- A three-minute momentum shift triggered one of the biggest Olympic wins in United States womens field hockey.Agustina Albertarrio appeared to break a scoreless tie two minutes into the third period, but the Argentines goal was nullified. A few minutes later, Katie Reinprecht slipped one under the goalkeeper to give the Americans the lead. The United States went on to defeat No. 2 Argentina 2-1 Saturday in its opening match.United States coach Craig Parnham said his team handled the swing well.Those can sort of flip a game on its head, but there still was a lot of hockey to be played after that, and I thought we did a nice job of continuing to play, he said. It was important for us to keep the pressure on Argentina, and I thought we did that for the second part of the game.Reinprechts shot didnt generate much power.That first goal we scored, if you saw it coming, youre thinking, Thats probably not going to go in, United States goalkeeper Jackie Briggs said. But you just never know. Youve got to shoot it.Michelle Kasold scored on a penalty corner with 10:26 to play to put the United States up 2-0. Delfina Merino got Argentina on the board with 3:27 remaining, but the Americans held on.The United States dominated much of the second half after a rough start.I think the first period, we started a little slow, maybe a little bit tentative, Parnham said. Weve got some players that have not played on this stage before. It may be better attributed to that.Argentina is among the sports greatest powers. The Argentines won the Champions Trophy final over No. 1-ranked Netherlands in June and entered this tournament with confidence.The United States has had success in some of their biggest matchups with the Argentines. Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Uomo.

The United States gained momentum this year by placing third in the Champions Trophy in June, and its No. 5 world ranking is its highest ever.The Americans spent most of the first period defending their side of the field, but they never broke, and the match was scoreless after the first 15 minutes, despite Argentinas 6-0 shot advantage.The United States controlled the action through much of the second period, with six shots to Argentinas two. The Americans couldnt break through, and the match remained scoreless at halftime.We didnt play our best hockey and we came out 0-0, and thats always a good thing, to be able to not play your best and still not get scored on, Briggs said.Argentina manufactured 13 shots in the match, but Briggs was up for the challenge.Jackies done a nice job in there tonight for us, and for the rest of this week and the next two weeks of this tournament, were going to need her to be on song, Parnham said. She weathered the early storm and did well for us and kept us in the game.The United States will play No. 3 Australia on Monday.If we play our game and stick to our game plan, we can beat anybody, Briggs said. Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap NFL HoodiesCheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China ' ' '
