Luke Humphries won his first Premier League victory over Luke Little in the seventh attempt by the night final to Exeter, still stretching his advance at the top of the 2025 table.
Littleler launched an astonishing 19 maximum during his three games, although his level fell in the final against the world No. 1, with an average of 97 after a few sparkling performances during the previous towers.
Littleler started the competition with a blow, withdrawing 144 in the opening leg before breaking Humphries in the fourth for an advantage of 3-1.
He could have, and perhaps should have transformed this into an advance of 4-1, but missed darts with double 10 and Double Five allowed Humphries to break directly, while these two doubles returned to haunt Littler when he was again broken in the ninth leg, Humphries closing things from there.
This means that the points of Humphries are counted in the first four weeks are now 15, seven away from Littleler in the second, with the only other night winner in 2025, Gerwyn Price, in third on seven after his release in the quarter -finals. Michael Van Gerwyn is the top four, on six points, despite the loss of his first match of the night.
Humphries: More apologies against Littleler
Humphries said Sky Sports After his last night victory: “It was a hard work, but I also had the impression that my game was in the right direction.
“Littleler played fantastic tonight, but I did not play as well in the final and I managed to set foot on the gas – as I did in the other two games – just at the end of the match.
“This is the first time that I beat it in the Premier League. It becomes more difficult every time you lose, but this time, I felt a little cooler and there were no more excuses – nothing could stop me.
“It’s an excellent start, 15 points after four nights. I would love to win the group; it is a dream start and I hope I can continue to push and take out points.
“It will give me confidence.”
Littleler joins forces but finally fails
Littleler launched a 100,180 amazing, with an average of 112, beating Stephen Bunting 6-3 in their quarter-final, his opponent is still without victory for four weeks of the tournament, despite himself at almost 105 and launched six maximums in the competition.
Littleler then exploded Nathan Aspinall in their semi-final, posing in an advance of 3-0 and finally took 6-2 with an average of 110 and three tonnes, closing things and reserving its place in the final with a deadly tart at the bull.
Humphries, on the other hand, was not his best sparkling despite his third final through the first four nights of the tournament, while he was beating the winner of the night three in the quarters, before fighting to get rid of Rob Cross in the Final Four.
Humphries nailed a cash of 156 to the fourth stage of his match against Price, caught the very important break in the ninth, but then stumbled on the finish line when he missed five match darts – even accidentally broke his score at a stadium – before winning a victory, the chance to see a price failure with six darts
In his semi -finals against cross, Humphries left a two -leg advance advance, falling from 5-4 behind due to a dubious dubbing – hitting only four of the 14 – before nailing a superb case from 167 and an 116 in successive legs to win it.
Earlier at night, in the other quarter -finals, Cross and Aspinall defeated Van Gerwyn and Chris Dobey, respectively, in the final leg decision -makers.
