Scot John Higgins produced a stunning fightback to beat Mark Williams 10-9 and win a third UK Championship ***le.

The Welshman resumed the evening 6-2 up and looked set for victory at 9-7 but Higgins got the required snooker to hit back and set up the dramatic finale.

Higgins struggled in the first session as his opponent knocked in an 82 and 85 but the Scot roared back with two centuries to get him sniffing victory.

Both had chances at 9-9 but Higgins bagged his fifth frame in a row to win.

Amazingly, the triumph - his 22nd ranking ***le - was secured with a stunning double on the brown and it was a tearful Telford as wife Denise celebrated her husband securing a third UK Championship crown in his first major tournament since a six-month ban.
