Fans are convinced Peter Wright pulled off a '1000 IQ' move versus Luke Humphries during his stunning victory at the World Darts Championship.

Wright beat Humphries 4-1 in their fourth round clash at Ally Pally on Monday.

He produced a sensational outing to dump the defending world champion out of this year's competition.

During their enthralling showdown, darts fans believe the Scot produced a genius move by changing darts.

At the TV break, the 54-year-old changed his darts - as he often does.

He then swapped them back again before securing a historic victory.

People on social media couldn't get enough of Wright changing his darts midway through his win over the world No.1.

One X user wrote: "Wright is playing really well over a bigger distance for the first time this year and he’s already switched Darts twice. There’s no one like him. In any sport."

A second questioned: "Why is Peter Wright changing his darts mid game."

A third added: "Changing your darts midway through a last-leg decider in a set against the world number one. Peter Wright, ladies and gentlemen."

Another said: "Peter Wright changing darts this often and performing this well is insanity."

After the game, Wright thanked the crowd before setting his sights on a third world title.

"He didn’t play like he can. I have never had support like this in my life. Thank you. It’s amazing," he said.

"I have struggled for form all year. It’s so annoying. I know I can still play darts. I switched to another set there to try and find something.

"This crowd, I have never experienced anything like it in the world. Absolutely amazing.

"Lucky that I wasn’t playing the Luke Humphries of last year as he was absolutely awesome then.

Advert

"I am a double world champion. I wanted to win it for the third time. I am not too old.

"You only have to play well for two-and-a-half weeks in the whole year. Doesn’t matter what else you do.

"This is all that matters. I am in the quarter-finals.

"I thought I played rubbish tonight. I hope I can play better and score better in the next round. As long as this crowd are behind me, I have a great hence."
