Littler Outguns Humphries to Top Premier League Table
Luke Littler recovered from 5-3 down and sealed the decider on double 10 for his fifth nightly win.
On Thursday, Luke Littler defeated Luke Humphries 6-5 to win Night 13 of the Premier League in Aberdeen, moving clear at the top of the table.
Littler secured his final spot by defeating Gerwyn Price 6-1 in the semi-finals, while Humphries advanced after beating Veen 6-3, building on Littler's recent victory in Liverpool.
During the final, Humphries leveled at 2-2 with a 130 checkout, but Littler clinched victory in the deciding leg on double 10 as Humphries' aim faltered.
Littler praised his opponent, saying, "Luke played very well there, and if he continues to play like that, he will have a chance." Humphries sits two points from the top four.
The Premier League tour continues next week in Leeds, while Price prepares for the Open Pool Championship next month, potentially conflicting with the play-offs in London.
Luke Littler, him again. The world darts champion claimed his fifth Premier League night of the season in Aberdeen. In the final, he beat Luke Humphries 6-5, after trailing significantly.
