The moment Selby wins the UK Championship
World number one Mark Selby stated his desire to “shut the critics up” after beating Ronnie O’Sullivan in a high-quality UK Championship final.
The 33-year-old world champion made three century breaks and six further half centuries to win 10-7 and claim the title for the second time in York.
But his gritty style of play has often been questioned by viewers and pundits, who claim he is too slow and boring.
“With the criticism I get, it inspires me even more,” he told BBC Sport.
“It makes me want to try harder.”
