Luke Littler ignites Premier League campaign with victory in Cardiff

Luke Littler ignited his BetMGM Premier League campaign by beating Jonny Clayton 6-4 to win night five in Cardiff.

Littler had won only one match in the opening four rounds, although he was awarded two points on night three after Michael van Gerwen withdrew through illness.

But the world number one returned to form, scoring heavily and hitting two 170 checkouts, to silence the raucous Cardiff crowd with wins over home favourites Gerwyn Price and Clayton.
