In an intense final at night 13 of the Premier League in Birmingham, Luke Littler overcame Michael van Gerwen 6-4, marking his fifth evening win of the season and a new record. Littler, who previously edged past Stephen Bunting and Nathan Aspinall, demonstrated resilience, bouncing back after Van Gerwen took an early 3-1 lead. Ultimately, Littler's precision allowed him to secure victory with a match average of 102.5, positioning him at the top of the table with a substantial points lead. He expressed confidence in maintaining his lead and finishing on top by the season's end.
"Once I got over the finish line in my first game against Stephen, I was confident. I got away with it against Nathan, but then the final was a cracking game."
"Littler, the defending Premier League champion, then capitalised on some misplaced darts from the Dutchman to break back before moving 4-3 in front after more heavy scoring."
