Luke Littler produced an astonishing comeback from 5-0 down to stun Gerwyn Price and celebrate his second nightly win of the Premier League season in Dublin last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Littler looked to be staring down the barrel of his first whitewash defeat in Premier League history, only to reel off six consecutive legs to claim a remarkable victory in the Irish capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 19-year-old was without a win in his previous two appearances at the 3Arena, but he delivered the goods on a memorable night to move within three points of league leader Jonny Clayton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Littler kicked off Night Seven with a 6-3 win against Stephen Bunting in a high-quality affair, defying a 104 average from the former Masters champion in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Littler then overturned a 5-3 deficit to deny Michael van Gerwen in a pulsating semi-final, surviving three match darts in a contest which saw both players produce sensational 170 checkouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world number one then produced a sensational turnaround to pip Price in the Night Seven showpiece, rallying from 5-0 adrift to secure the \u00a310,000 nightly prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Welshman squandered three darts for a 6-1 victory, before spurning further darts at tops to win 6-3 and 6-4, and Littler duly capitalised to force a last-leg thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price had the advantage of throw in the decider, but Littler extinguished that advantage in style, firing in a brace of maximums and converting a clutch 81 checkout on double 15 to triumph in 12 darts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I have no idea how I’ve done that,”\u00a0admitted Littler, who now boasts a four-point lead over Price, who occupies third position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was a very strange match. I was gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When Gerwyn Price is sat on tops he doesn’t usually miss, but this is darts. Anything can happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I played very well against Stephen, it was a brilliant game against Michael, and then the rest is history!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’ve finished top in the last two years and I want to do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“With the start Jonny had and the start I’ve had, it’s good to see I’m in second spot, and I’m right behind him now!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price cruised through to the Night Seven showpiece with comprehensive wins over Josh Rock and Luke Humphries, conceding a solitary leg in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Welshman averaged 103.66 in a brutal six-leg demolition of Rock in the quarter-finals, before averaging north of 109 to dispatch reigning champion Humphries 6-1 in the last four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price prevailed in Dublin 12 months ago and appeared poised to complete one of the most comprehensive nightly wins in Premier League history, only to succumb in an extraordinary finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the night, Humphries moved into the top four with a 6-3 success against Clayton, inflicting the Welsh number one’s first quarter-final defeat in this year’s Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world number two averaged 103.44 and converted a brace of ton-plus checkouts to advance, defying a mid-game fightback from the 2021 champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Gerwen, meanwhile, had received a bye through to the semi-finals following the withdrawal of Gian van Veen, who missed out on tonight’s action after being diagnosed with kidney stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Night Eight of the Premier League will take place in Berlin on Thursday March 26, as Littler begins his bid for a third nightly victory of 2026 against Bunting at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
League leader Clayton will take on Rock in the evening’s opener, Humphries and Van Gerwen also go head-to-head, while Price takes on Van Veen for a place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
