Phil Taylor came out victorious in Dublin in what could be his last ever competitive meeting with old foe Raymond van Barneveld.

The long-time rivals met on Night Ten on the Premier League and Taylor, who will retire at the end of the season, got revenge for a previous defeat in this competition to the Dutchman with a 7-3 win.

The Power averaged 105.87 and temporarily moved ahead of Van Barneveld, who later beat James Wade 7-2 to regain his third place in the table.

"It's two points in the bag and it keeps me up there in the league table," said Taylor. "I'm still enjoying it and still trying to get into the Play-Offs.

"Raymond's playing some great darts and he always seems to be there, and over the years we've had so many great battles. Playing him in Dublin was extra special."

Taylor ended up in the play-off places with Gary Anderson dropping out after a 7-3 loss to Adrian Lewis.

Dave Chisnall and Peter Wright shared the points in their match-up.

World number one Michael van Gerwen remains top after a high-quality 7-5 win over Wade, who left Dublin pointless on his birthday and is now five points off a play-off place with five nights left in the regular season.

AS IT HAPPENED: PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS LIVE IN DUBLIN

Van Gerwen ended the game with a seasons-best 113.62 average to Wade's impressive 110.82, and the World Champion said: "A good game comes from two players and James was phenomenal, and I want to give all credit to him.

"It was probably James' highest average in a long time, so I'm really glad I won it in the end. After I was 4-2 down I knew I had to do something extra if I was going to win the game, and I did that.

"Somehow I managed to do the 171 and the 138 when he was on 41 after nine darts. That takes a lot of capability, pressure and confidence to do that. I'm really glad I won this game and I needed it."
