England's Mark Selby stunned Ronnie O'Sullivan by capturing the last four frames to take the Masters title 10-9 at Wembley late on Sunday.

Selby, the champion at Wembley in 2008 before surrendering the honour to O'Sullivan last year, had trailed throughout the final until he won the penultimate frame to take the game into a decider.

"I went into the final frame probably more confident than Ronnie was because of the deciding frames I've won here," said Selby.

"You are looking for one chance, then if you don't win it you can't moan. It was the best match I've been involved in. Ronnie sets the standard."

O'Sullivan was left to regret taking on a tricky green when he was 9-7 up but had no regrets about the decision.

"You have to take chances when you get them. That wasn't an easy shot but sometimes you have to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. It's one of those things," said the Englishman.

O'Sullivan had looked on course for a comfortable win when he led 5-3 at the mid-session break. But Selby hit back on the resumption, taking the ninth frame.

O'Sullivan then knocked in 92 in reply but Selby's response was a break of 136 before the world number one stretched to 7-5.

Selby stayed in touch but further breaks of 89 and 91 got O'Sullivan within sight of back-to-back titles before his dogged opponent won consecutive frames, including another century break, to set up a thrilling finale at 9-8.

Then Selby secured the final two frames of the match, making it four in a row, to take the title.
