Stephen Bunting produced his best performance of this year’s World Darts Championship as he waltzed into the quarter-finals.
Bunting romped to a 4-0 victory over Luke Woodhouse in their fourth round match and will now face two-time world champion Peter Wright in the next stage.

The victory marked Bunting’s first whitewash of the tournament, having dropped a set against Kai Gotthardt and Madars Razma in the second and third round respectively.
A fan favourite of the Alexandra Palace faithful, Bunting put his foot on the gas from the opening leg of the match and never relented.
Over the course of the contest, Bunting dropped a measly three legs as the darts simply would not fall for Woodhouse.
It was Bunting’s proficiency on the big numbers that aided his victory, which was sealed in less than 35 minutes.
He landed 22 scores of 100 or more along with six 180s, whereas Woodhouse landed just one maximum.
However, Bunting had to wait until the opening leg of the second set before he could secure his first 180.
