Power plays down Barney rift

Phil Taylor was keen to play down his on-stage confrontation with Raymond van Barneveld after beating the Dutchman 6-4 to set up a mouthwatering Ladbrokes World Championship final against Michael van Gerwen.

Taylor and Van Barneveld appeared to exchange angry words after shaking hands at the end of the match, but the 15-time world champion insisted soon after that the matter was forgotten.
