'I'll get him back', says Van Gerwen
Result: Phil Taylor 11-5 Michael van Gerwen
Champions League of Darts runner-up Michael van Gerwen told BBC Sport:
"I know I can do a lot better, I've shown that before against Gary Anderson but Phil Taylor was the better player this weekend and fair play to him.
"It's been a while since Phil won a big tournament but I'll get him back. That's the way it goes and you can't win them all the time.
"I let myself down this weekend. I'm disappointed with myself and I need to have a moment of rest."

Taylor 'over the moon' with victory
Result: Phil Taylor 11-5 Michael van Gerwen
Champions League of Darts winner Phil Taylor told BBC Sport:
"I'm over the moon, just to get to the final itself. This ain't no Muppet show, this is hard work. I was worried about the final with my energy levels and I was dropping down a bit but I seemed to click at the right time.
"I think Michael van Gerwen is brilliant. He's won everything there but he's played too much and that showed during the final. He's played probably 12 days out of 14 and it's difficult.
"The last time I was on BBC winning was in 1992 against Mike Gregory and I'm sure he's watching. To Mike Gregory - look at what you could have won."

Sam Barker: MVG off his game but absolutely vintage Taylor. Clinical on the doubles!
The Leegend: Phil Taylor back to beating the best on TV. Far too good this weekend.
Jason: Incredible that at his age, Phil is still one of the best in the business.
G McKeown: Phil Taylor at 56 still at the top. Has any sportsperson stayed at the top for so long?

The 56-year-old joins the crowd with a Viking Thunderclap of his own. He's loving this.

He does it in style with a 114, and Phil Taylor is the winner!
Post update
*Phil Taylor 10-5 Michael van Gerwen
Hello, hello, here we go... a 180 to start from Van Gerwen and a 171 to add pressure, but he loses the leg! Taylor moves one leg away from victory with an 81 finish on the bull.

Post update
Phil Taylor 9-5 *Michael van Gerwen
Steady stuff from Taylor gets him to a finish first. MvG adds pressure to 78 with a 180, and Taylor fails. Van Gerwen hits a 70 checkout and that's another one back.

Post update
*Phil Taylor 9-4 Michael van Gerwen
With Taylor way back, Van Gerwen takes the leg in 13 darts. Still a long way back for the Dutchman.
Post update
Phil Taylor 9-3 *Michael van Gerwen
More missed darts at double from Van Gerwen and Taylor pounces for 9-3. You can see the energy draining out of MvG, every dart a puncture to the world number one's bubble.

Relentless on the doubles, is Phil Taylor. Michael van Gerwen is certainly feeling the pressure. It can destroy or create, cause victory or despair and we love it. Van Gerwen doesn't at the moment.
Post update
*Phil Taylor 8-3 Michael van Gerwen
Has the break energised Van Gerwen? Possibly. A maximum leaves him 125, which he can take out in six darts if he requires. But all he gets is a shot at the bull, it's missed, and Taylor pegs 86 for an 8-3 lead. A hammer blow from The Power.
Watch: Taylor takes nervy first leg
Break: Phil Taylor 7-3 Michael van Gerwen
It was a slow start by both players but then Phil Taylor kicked into gear with a 180 and a 46 checkout to take the first leg.
Both players are averaging about 98 at the moment. Can Michael van Gerwen find a way back?

The crowd wanted the nine-darter and I'm sure he wanted it but he couldn't quite get the treble 19, we would have had to have had a wide camera angle on the double 12 if he had!
If you missed it earlier, Taylor's attempt at double 12 for a nine-darter in his group game against Robert Thornton landed about three inches from the right bed.
Post update
Break: Phil Taylor 7-3 Michael van Gerwen
Taylor with a 180. Taylor with a 180. Taylor with a treble 20.... but the treble 19 drops short. Never mind - he cleans up in 11 darts and he's 7-3 up at the interval. Much work to do for MvG.

Post update
*Phil Taylor 6-3 Michael van Gerwen
A rare dip in form from Taylor, who only scores a total of 145 in his first nine darts. I've seen contestants score more in old episodes of Bullseye when they were playing for a speedboat. Now that's pressure.
