“I have no idea how I have done that,” exclaimed Luke Littler after his astonishing victory over Gerwyn Price in the final of Night Seven of Premier League Darts, held at the 3Arena in Dublin on March 19, 2026. Littler’s comeback from a staggering 5-0 deficit to win 6-5 is being hailed as one of the most remarkable moments in the tournament’s history.
In the semi-finals, Littler had already shown his mettle by narrowly defeating the formidable Michael van Gerwen 6-5. This set the stage for an electrifying final against Price, who had just delivered a stunning 6-0 whitewash of Josh Rock in the quarter-finals.
Despite the odds stacked against him, Littler’s determination shone through as he won six consecutive legs to clinch the title. His journey in this tournament has been nothing short of extraordinary, especially considering he is the reigning world No 1.
However, the night was not without its challenges. Gian van Veen, who was scheduled to face van Gerwen in the quarter-finals, had to withdraw due to kidney stones, granting van Gerwen a bye. This unexpected turn of events added an unusual twist to the competition.
As the tournament progresses, Littler’s victory has propelled him to just three points behind league leader Jonny Clayton. The stakes are high, with each night’s winner earning £10,000 and valuable points towards the overall league standings.
Defending champion Luke Humphries also competed but faced a tough semi-final against Price, losing 6-1. The competition remains fierce as the players vie for the coveted title and the £350,000 prize for the overall champion.
As the Premier League Darts season continues, fans are eagerly anticipating how Littler will build on this momentum. “This is darts, things happen,” Littler remarked, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of the sport.
With only a few nights left in the season, the excitement is palpable. Each match brings new possibilities, and the players are ready to battle it out for glory.
As we look ahead, the next round promises to deliver more thrilling moments and surprises, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
