Unbelievable drama as Barney is through in Perth

Raymond van Barneveld is through in Perth to face either Daryl Gurney or Peter Wright after defeating Phil Taylor by 10 legs to 9 in a decider. Barney allowed Taylor back in throughout the match and nearly fluffed his lines again against the 16 times champion but the relief was all to see as the 5 times World Champion made it through in a game full of drama!

The Power continued to be out of sorts and Barney took out 81 to get a 3-1 lead. Phil finally woke up and got a leg back at 3-2 behind and with Barney missing darts, it gave him the opportunity to take out 31 to make it 3-3.
At the interval, Barney got a break back once again and was up 4-3. When back from the interval, a 12 darter from Taylor made it 4-4 and a break of throw from the Power.
