Kop that! Bunting weaves his magic

TITLE GLORY AND ANFIELD IN SIGHT

- Mike Walters

SPELLBOUND Stephen Bunting sprang from his lasttrance saloon to end Peter Wright's defiance of Father Time.

In a surprisingly routine demolition of two-time champion 'Snakebite' Wright, the 'Bullet' stormed into the PDC World Championship semi-finals with his eyes wide shut last night.

Bunting's 5-2 win, garnished with three century-plus have checkouts, could damaging consequences for Wright's hopes of retaining his Premier League place.

But for the No.8 seed from St Helens, it has been happy daze on the oche since he started working with hypnotherapist Chris O'Connor.
