It was his second victory against the Dutchman in just over two weeks.
He stormed to a 10-4 win at the end of October - just one day after being labelled a "part-timer" by Van Gerwen.
Anderson has since insisted that despite the comments made by his rival, he remains fully focused on the sport.
So much so, he wouldn't let a kid or an OAP get in his way.

He said: "It doesn't matter if I'm playing Michael van Gerwen or a 98-year-old granny in an exhibition.
"I'm there to play darts and it's the same with kids. In Ireland I missed a nine-darter against a youngster and he ended up crying.
"His dad asked: 'why did you do that?' I said: 'He's not beating me!' I hate losing."
Anderson revealed he didn't practice before his meeting with Van Gerwen at the weekend.
