Clayton's 2–5 Final Comeback Against Van Gerwen Seals Brighton Night

Review

Jonny Clayton came from 2–5 down to beat Michael van Gerwen 6–5 in one of the most dramatic finals of the 2026 season at Brighton Centre. Clayton had earlier survived a tight 6–5 quarter-final against Luke Humphries before defeating Josh Rock in the semi. The night average of 94.49 was the lowest of the campaign, but the tension and drama in the closing stages more than compensated. Clayton moved five points clear at the top.
