Two wins out of two for Taylor

Taylor beat Raymond van Barneveld in week one of the Premier League

World champion Phil Taylor has won his second match of the 2009 Premier League Darts, defeating Dutchman Jelle Klaasen 8-2 in Edinburgh on Thursday.

Taylor was again in good form, racing into a 4-0 lead, and despite a 118 checkout from Klaasen, 'the Power' was always in control of the match.

Taylor and Mervyn King, who beat James Wade 8-1, are the only two players with perfect records from two matches.

The world number 1 now plays Terry Jenkins in Coventry on 19 February.

The other two matches on the second night of the 2009 season ended in 7-7 draws.

Wayne Mardle hit a 160 checkout to level his match against Jenkins, while Raymond van Barneveld picked up his first point of the tournament against former world champion John Part.
