Luke Littler stormed to the top of the Premier League Darts table after claiming his third nightly title in the space of four weeks in Berlin on Thursday.

The world number one followed up wins in Cardiff and Dublin with a hat-trick of spectacular displays in the German capital to leapfrog Jonny Clayton at the Premier League summit.

Littler overcame Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen to triumph at the Uber Arena, producing a spectacular brace of 170 checkouts in the final to clinch another £10,000 bonus.

The 19-year-old opened up with a 6-3 success over Bunting, defying a 107.5 average from the former Lakeside Champion to prevail in a high quality contest with a 105.7 average of his own.

Littler then produced a majestic display to dispatch Price, overturning a 4-3 deficit with an average of 108.6 to continue his dominant recent record over the Welshman.

The back-to-back World Champion raced out of the blocks in the final to lead 3-0, landing a clinical 126 on the bull to pile the pressure on Van Gerwen.

However, the seven-time Premier League champion responded with a three-leg flurry of his own to restore parity at three apiece, only for Littler to land a magical 170 checkout to move 5-3 ahead.

Van Gerwen hit back with an immediate break of throw as he looked to force a last-leg decider, but Littler was not to be denied, producing another moment of Big Fish brilliance to seal the deal in style.

“I think this is definitely the best I’ve played over a night,” admitted Littler, who averaged 106.36 and hit a trio of ton-plus finishes in the final.

“I knew if I won the night I would go top, but you’ve just got to take it game by game.

“Obviously I won in Cardiff and Dublin, but this tops it. I played very well tonight.

“I said coming into this, if I win my first game, I’ll change my darts into the second game – that will get a few people talking.

“It [the German crowd] wasn’t too bad tonight. I played very well and they were on my side at times.

“I’m glad to have the weekend off, and then we’ll be back for Manchester!”

Van Gerwen’s run to a third weekly final of 2026 featured impressive wins over Luke Humphries and Josh Rock, as he climbed back into the Play-Off positions.

The Dutchman punished another poor display of finishing from Humphries and Rock to record consecutive 6-3 wins, although an average of 103.8 was not enough to halt Littler.

Earlier in the night, Rock broke new ground by registering his maiden win on the Premier League stage, defeating previous table-topper Clayton 6-3 to end his run of seven straight defeats on debut.

In the evening’s other quarter-final, Price averaged 101 in powering past an out of sorts Gian van Veen 6-1, as the European Champion made his first appearance since undergoing kidney stones surgery last week.
