Webster lights up after pulling the plug on ‘Power’

THE darts world was turned on its head at the weekend as 15-times world champion Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor was well beaten at the PDC World Championship by Welshman Mark Webster.

On a dramatic New Year’s Day in north London’s Alexandra Palace, Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld was also bundled out, by an inspired Gary Anderson.

Van Barneveld was world champion four times in his BDO days and has been champion once, in 2007, since joining the PDC.
