Luke Littler reclaimed top spot in the Premier League table with his fifth nightly victory of the campaign in Aberdeen last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world number one accounted for Josh Rock, Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries to triumph at P&J Live, overturning a 5-3 deficit to edge past Humphries in a captivating Night Thirteen final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Littler – fresh from victory in Liverpool last week – celebrated back-to-back nightly wins with another stellar showing on Scottish soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The World Champion averaged almost 106 in his quarter-final clash against Rock, registering an eighth consecutive victory over the Northern Irishman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Littler also maintained his dominant record against Price in the last four, powering to a comprehensive 6-1 success to set up a winner-takes-all showdown against Humphries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pair exchanged six straight holds of throw in a high-quality start to proceedings, before Humphries seized the initiative with a sensational ten-dart break of throw in leg seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humphries – who also converted a 130 checkout on the bull in leg four – then stretched his lead to 5-3, only for Littler to reply with legs of 12 and 11 darts to set up a grandstand finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Warrington wonderkid boasted the advantage of throw in the decider, and that proved decisive, as he pinned double ten to establish a two-point buffer over Jonny Clayton at the top of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Obviously I always want to be top of the table,”\u00a0insisted Littler, who defied a 103.10 average from Humphries to pocket another five league points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I know Jonny [Clayton] says he wants to get to The O2 and we’ve both qualified, so now I want to chase and hopefully break my own records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I felt comfortable tonight. My practice was going well and I was glad to bring it on to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think in the last two weeks, I’ve definitely deserved the wins, but Luke [Humphries] played very well there, and if he carries that on to next week, he’ll have a good chance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humphries came agonisingly close to sealing his first nightly win of the season, although his run to the Night Thirteen showpiece puts him firmly back in contention for a place at Finals Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 31-year-old was five points adrift of fourth-place Michael van Gerwen ahead of Thursday’s action, and the pair went head-to-head in a crucial quarter-final showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humphries – adopting a more methodical approach in Aberdeen – ran out a clinical 6-3 winner, before defeating Van Gerwen’s compatriot Gian van Veen by the same scoreline in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Veen averaged over 102 in defeat, as a majestic 160 checkout in the penultimate leg inspired Humphries to a victory that draws him level on points with the Dutch number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Veen also enjoyed a timely return to form in Aberdeen, averaging over 104 to dispatch previous table-topper Clayton 6-2 in the quarter-finals, sealing his progress with a fabulous 152 finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the evening’s other quarter-final, Price recovered from 5-3 down to deny Stephen Bunting, surviving three match darts to celebrate his first points since Night Nine in Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Welshman has subsequently consolidated third spot in the table, extending his cushion over Van Gerwen to three points as he sets his sights on a third Play-Off appearance in four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Premier League season continues in Leeds next Thursday, as Humphries targets a third consecutive triumph at the First Direct Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reigning champion takes on Rock in his quarter-final tie, as league leader Littler begins his latest nightly bid against Van Gerwen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price and Clayton go head-to-head in an all-Welsh affair in next week’s opener, while Van Veen and Bunting also do battle for a place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ranking points are awarded per night – with five to the winner, three to the runner-up and two to the semi-finalists – to form the league table from which the top four players will progress to Finals Night at The O2 in London on Thursday May 28.
