WORLD darts number one Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor was in unstoppable form as he remained unbeaten in various competitions.

The Crewe resident came from 5-3 down to maintain his unbeaten start to the Whyte and Mackay Premier League with a draw against Mervyn King in Manchester.

Taylor looked on course for a first defeat of the season when King punished a slow start from the 15-time World Champion to take leads of 3-1 and 5-3.

But Taylor hit checkouts of 161, 126 and 125 in successive legs to drag himself back into the game.

And a 13-dart finish in the deciding leg earned him a point.

Taylor then swept to a second successive Players Championship victory, white- washing Mark Dudbridge in the final of Saturday’s event in Wigan.

He then completed a weekend double in Wigan with a stunning whitewash of Jamie Caven in the final of Sunday's UK Open qualifier and picked up £12,000 for the double.
