DARIUS LABANAUSKAS upset Raymond van Barneveld to progress to the second round William Hill World Darts Championship.
Labanauskas took the first set 3-1 with an average of 102.05 to pile the pressure on the five-time World Champion.
Van Barneveld edged the second set 3-2 but missed four darts to win set three before his Lithuanian opponent pinched it on double six.
The fourth set also reached a deciding leg, which the Dutchman won on double 16 to level up the match.
Labanauskas raced through the fifth and final set, however, winning it 3-0 to dump out Van Barneveld, who recently announced that he will retire at the end of 2019.
