The man who conquered The Rocket just won one of the tightest world snooker finals ever

Stuart Bingham eked out a narrow 18-15 win over Shaun Murphy.

STUART BINGHAM BEAT Shaun Murphy 18-15 to win snookerโ€™s World Championship final at Sheffieldโ€™s Crucible Theatre on Monday.

Victory in this all-English clash saw first-time finalist Bingham deny Murphy, champion in 2005, a second world title.

Bingham led 14-11 at the start of Mondayโ€™s final session and then, with the match all square at 15-15, he won a marathon 64-minute frame to edge closer to victory.

The 38-year-old made a break of 65 to go 17-15 in front before a contribution of 88 saw Bingham, a snooker professional for 20 years, take the title.

    Kalou is the most under-appreciated Chelsea player. Send him to United or Arsenal and watch him make a show of yeโ€ฆ
