Kevin Doets and Noa-Lynn van Leuven played out one of the longest legs in World Darts Championship history and fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
In the second set, the two Dutch throwers were locked at one leg apiece as nerves got the best of the players and they missed consecutive darts at double.
As both players ended up on D1, fans couldn’t believe what was happening on the Alexandra Palace stage.

Another fan wrote: “Haha what a leg of darts that was my god?! The crowd loved it too, 33 darts! And one declared: “33 leg set, D1 for both. I like my darts like that!”
