Fans lose their minds as Michael Smith seals nine-dart finish in “best leg ever”

Darts fans have been left astounded after Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen played out the greatest legs in darts history. The leg saw Smith seal a remarkable nine-dart finish as he took on van Gerwen in the final of the World Darts Championship.
