The England international produced two superb second-half saves from Southampton forward Che Adams as the Magpies secured a vital 1-0 win from a breathless Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at St Mary's. Joelinton set aside a disallowed goal and a shocking miss to claim the visitors' 73rd-minute winner, while Saints substitute Adam Armstrong had a leveller ruled out for handball following VAR intervention. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, who warned there is still a long way to go in the tie ahead of next week's return meeting, saluted the impact of his in-form keeper, while Magpies midfielder Bruno Guimaraes went a step further.
Wright - who earlier defeated world champion Michael Smith in the semi-finals - got off to a flying start, taking out three ton-plus finishes, including a 140 checkout, as he opened up a commanding lead 5-0 at the first session interval. Price, runner-up at last weekend's Bahrain Darts Masters, recovered from 8-2 down to trail 9-5 with a fine 156 finish. Wright, though, went on to take the next two legs and wrap up an impressive victory with an average over 102 for his first TV title since landing the 2022 World Championship.
The shot was straight out of the Ryder Cup playbook, the celebration even more so.

Burchnall, who managed Viking in Norway before replacing Graham Potter at Swedish side Ostersunds in 2018, led Notts County to the Vanarama National League play-offs last season before agreeing to replace Watford-bound Rob Edwards at Forest Green.
