Michael van Gerwen was the darling clementine of Alexandra Palace as he romped to his second world title.
Dutch destroyer Van Gerwen crushed Gary Anderson 7-3 in the most one-sided William Hill PDC World Championship final for five years and complete a clean sweep of major TV titles.
In the first meeting of the world's top two since Phil Taylor hammered Raymond van Barneveld 7-1 in 2009, MVG was simply unstoppable, irresistible, invincible.
Anderson's first defeat at Ally Pally in 18 matches was no disgrace – but in the end, it was almost procession.
If there was a sense of anti-climax, take nothing away from the force of nature which blew away braveheart Anderson.
And in the end, the only drama was an audacious attempt by a tanked-up spectator to try and steal the Sid Waddell Trophy from its plinth when Van Gerwen was about to throw, needing 115 for the title.
