WARRINGTON’S Luke Littler is still top of the darts Premier League despite last night’s shock defeat.
Gerwyn Price stunned Littler 6-3 in the final to win Night Six of the Premier League in Nottingham. It was Price’s second nightly win of 2025 after he picked up the 6-3 win over Nathan Aspinall on Night Three in Dublin and the win moves him to third in the table on 12 points.
Despite the loss, Littler sits top of the Premier League table on 16 points, with Luke Humphries in second on 15, and Michael van Gerwen making up the current top four on 10 points.
At the start of the night, Humphries sat two points clear at the top of the league but with his quarter-final loss meaning he left Nottingham without adding points to his tally, Littler overtook his rival.
Speaking to Sky Sports post match Price said: “The first game is always tough, you’re scraping to get two points. After I get a few then I relax a bit.
“I did it against MVG and I wanted to get another win over Luke, just to keep on top. He’s one of the best in the world and he’s going to be for the next few years. He’s going to get better and better.
“I praise him every single day. I think he’ll beat Phil Taylor’s record and there is no one in the PDC that will stop him. There’s only the younger generations that can stop him, we can’t stop him. He’s going to get better and better.”
In the final, Price started on fire and quickly took three legs on the spin and the momentum in the encounter, doubling eluding the 18-year-old Littler in key moments.
He executed a 123 finish on the bullseye to take a 4-1 lead.
A 123 finish on the bull then reinstated the Welshman’s three-leg cushion and despite Littler finding a break, Price broke straight back to go one leg way from victory.
The ‘Iceman’ decided to then finish things in style, taking out 100 on tops, with 55 per cent success on the doubles, to keep himself well and truly in the conversation as a Premier League contender.
