Phil Taylor won his ninth world darts title last night when he destroyed Canada's John Part 7-0 in the final of the Skol World Championships at Purfleet, England.

Taylor celebrated the MBE he was awarded in the New Year's honours list in impressive style as he allowed his opponent just three legs in the whole match.

The scoreline was the biggest winning margin in a world final as he extended the stranglehold he has held on the sport for the last decade by claiming his seventh consecutive world crown.
