Luke Littler sets points record by seeing off Humphries
Michael van Gerwen was knocked out of the Premier League after failing in his win-or-bust mission in Sheffield as a record-breaking Luke Littler won a sixth night. The seven-times Premier League champion has had a miserable campaign and came into the final weekly night having to win to stay in contention for the playoffs.
But Van Gerwen fell at the first hurdle, losing 6-2 to Nathan Aspinall, whose victory saw him guarantee a top-four spot and complete the lineup for next week’s playoffs at the O2 in London.
