Fallon Sherrock incredibly made history for the second time in a week by beating 11th seed Mensur Suljovic to make it into the third round of the PDC World Championship.
Earlier in the week Sherrock became the first woman to win a match in the main draw of the tournament, when she beat Ted Evans 3-2 in the first round.

That set up a second round match with 11th seed Suljovic and a whole new challenge to make it through to the third round.
She found herself two legs down in the first set but fought back to win the set 3-2, leaving the Serbian smiling and shaking his head as he went off for the break.
Sherrock then led the second set 2-0 before throwing away the set herself, despite having the darts at 2-2 but she once again came back in the third set when 2-0 down to make win and lead 2-1 on sets.

The pair traded breaks at the beginning of the fourth set and Suljovic then held to lead 2-1 despite missing several darts at double as the pressure mounted on him.
The 25-year-old then held her throw to put pressure back on her more experienced opponent, who needed to hold throw to take it to a fifth set decider.
Supporters at Alexandra Palace booed Suljovic throughout and cheered his opponent but he threw a brilliant 180 to put himself within 127 before showing frustration when he hit a three trying to check out.

Sherrock needed 86 and hit a huge bullseye under immense pressure to win the match and go through!
The crowd went utterly wild and the 2015 Women's World Championship runner up looked shocked on the stage after the win telling Sky Sports, "I can't believe it. I think I've just taken out a seed. I don't know. I'm speechless."
Sherrock now has a few days off before her third round, coming after the Christmas break, and will face Chris Dobey during Friday's afternoon session.
