Highlights - O'Shea upsets Anderson
Favourite Gary Anderson suffered a 5-3 quarter-final defeat at the hands of ninth seed Tony O'Shea at the BDO World Darts Championship on Thursday.
Stockport's O'Shea, 47, raced into a 3-0 lead as top seed Anderson missed numerous doubles.
Scotland's Anderson, 38, fought back to 4-3, but O'Shea held his nerve to complete an outstanding victory.
In the day's other quarter-final, Darryl Fitton came back from 4-2 down to beat fellow Englishman Scott Waites.
O'Shea, who reached the semi-finals in 2004, said: "I have been playing a long time and three or four years ago I would have crumbled against Gary.
"I knew he was going to come back, he always does. But I am now made of much sterner stuff and have done my share of losing. I'm chuffed with my win over a legend like Gary, I'm made up."
