Nathan Aspinall has been snapped enjoying a boozy party following his World Matchplay win.
The Asp produced a darting masterclass to beat Jonny Clayton 18-6 at Winter Gardens on Sunday.
He reeled off 11 consecutive legs in the third, fourth and fifth sessions against the World Cup winner to claim his maiden Betfred World Matchplay title. Aspinall averaged 96, hit seven maximums and converted five ton-plus checkouts to triumph in the biggest match of his career.
And the 32-year-old celebrated the victory in spectacular fashion, partying until the early hours of Monday morning.

Aspinall took to Instagram to share a photo of him alongside family and popular Sky Sports Darts host Emma Paton at what appeared to be a bar. They posed together as Aspinall took a swig of his wine bottle, with the trophy and several glasses of wine and beer bottles also visible.
He captioned it: “The party is still going. What has happened tonight. Thank you each and everyone of you for your support this week. Matchplay Champion 2023 GWAAN.”

Aspinall fell to his knees in disbelief after getting over the line in Blackpool, having lost three consecutive finals previously in the Premier League, World Grand Prix and Grand Slam of Darts. He pocketed a £200,000 prize in the process.
The Stockport star later posted a snap of himself in bed, cuddling the Phil Taylor trophy along with the caption: “Had to do it!!!!! Good night all.”
And his 70,000 followers on the platform were left delighted with his success.
One fan commented: “Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, not that it was given to you, thoroughly deserved. Congratulations.”
Another wrote: “What a match and what a well deserved victory. Enjoy the moment with family and friends. You made my weekend.”
A third added: “Well deserved party,” while a fourth replied: “Let’s go Asp, enjoy yourself played great all week.”
