Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld will take on each other in the semi-finals of the PDC World Championship, as they won their respective quarter-final matches.

Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld have progressed to the semi-finals of the PDC World Championship.

The 52-year-old defeated fellow Englishman Andy Hamilton 5-0 in the quarter-finals, while Dutchman Van Barneveld got the better of Simon Whitlock 5-1 at London's Alexandra Palace.

Taylor, a 15-time world champion, won the first two sets against Hamilton without dropping a leg and eventually saw off the contest 5-0 with a 65 checkout.

Van Barneveld also raced on to a 2-0 lead against his Australian opponent in their quarter-final tie.

However, Whitlock pegged back only to go down under pressure from the 45-year-old and lose the contest 5-1.

Taylor and Van Barneveld will now face each other in the semi-finals.
