Phil Taylor fights back to earn Premier League draw with Michael van Gerwen

Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen have remained level on points at the top of the Premier League after they played out a 6-6 draw on week seven in Glasgow.

Van Gerwen - the world number one - appeared on course for a routine win after opening up leads of 5-1 and 6-4 respectively, which included a 170 checkout.

However, after watching the Dutchman miss three darts for the match, Taylor stormed back to secure a share of the spoils in what was their 49th competitive clash.

Gary Anderson was the big winner on Thursday night after he emerged victorious from two contests, the first a 7-4 triumph over Adrian Lewis and the second a 7-5 success over Peter Wright, who missed three darts to earn a draw.

James Wade remains in the top four after a 7-4 win over Robert Thornton, while Raymond van Barneveld gained a much-needed victory over Dave Chisnall, with the five-time world champion averaging almost 105 in a 7-4 success.
