Luke Littler produced one of the most remarkable comebacks in Premier League Darts history to win Night Seven in Dublin, overturning a 5-0 deficit to defeat Gerwyn Price 6-5 in a dramatic final at the 3Arena. The world champion, who averaged 95.54, sealed victory with a clinical 81 checkout on double 15, securing his second nightly win of the 2026 season and strengthening his position in the playoff race.
Littler's path to the final featured high-quality darts throughout. He began with a 6-3 victory over Stephen Bunting in a contest where both players averaged over 100, with Littler converting six of his 13 double attempts. In the semi-finals, he faced Michael van Gerwen in a thrilling match that included a sensational 170 checkout from Van Gerwen. Littler responded by hitting his own 170 checkout to force a deciding leg, eventually holding his nerve to win 6-5.
On the other side of the draw, Gerwyn Price delivered dominant performances to reach the final. He opened with a ruthless 6-0 whitewash of Josh Rock, averaging over 100 and converting six of 11 doubles. Price then dismantled reigning champion Luke Humphries 6-1 in the semi-finals, averaging 109.04 with a flurry of maximums and exceptional finishing.
The final saw Price race into a commanding 5-0 lead, punishing missed opportunities from Littler and roaring to the crowd as he closed in on victory. Littler avoided the whitewash with a 52 finish at 5-0 down, but Price remained in control at 5-1 with multiple match darts. Price failed to take out 72 on double top, then missed further darts at tops in the following leg, allowing Littler to punish with a 76 checkout. With the Dublin crowd fully engaged, Littler reeled off leg after leg to level at 5-5 before taking out 81 in the decider to complete the stunning turnaround.
Elsewhere on Night Seven, league leader Jonny Clayton suffered his first quarter-final defeat of the campaign, losing 6-3 to Luke Humphries, which ended his perfect quarter-final record and handed him his first pointless night of the year. Josh Rock's struggles continued as he remained winless after seven weeks, comprehensively beaten 6-0 by Price. The night's bracket was also reshaped early due to the withdrawal of Gian van Veen through illness, which handed Michael van Gerwen a walkover into the semi-finals, though Van Gerwen was unable to capitalise, falling to Littler in the last four.
