Premier League Darts results: Luke Littler beats Luke Humphries to win in Glasgow

World champion Luke Littler defeated world number one Luke Humphries 6-5 in a last-leg decider to win night two of the Premier League in Glasgow.
The 18-year-old was on the brink of defeat earlier in the evening against Rob Cross, but he fought back to clinch a fine victory.
Humphries was hampered in the final against his fellow Englishman after needing a plaster on a cut on the middle finger of his right throwing hand.
Despite that, and his frustration at whistling in the crowd, Humphries took a 5-4 lead before Littler won the next two legs in a performance which saw a 170 checkout, 55% doubles success and an average of 101.03 compared to his opponent’s 93.68.
“It was a weird final. We both weren’t playing well,” said world number two Littler.
“Now and again I look up at the screen and we’re on a 90 average. The crowd got involved.”
Littler was runner-up to Humphries in last year’s world final before beating him to win the 2024 Premier League.
