Littler’s Stunning Comeback In Dublin

A night of drama, resilience and world-class finishing. Luke Littler produced one of the most remarkable comebacks in Premier League history to claim Night Seven honours in Dublin.

Trailing 5–0 in the final against Gerwyn Price, the world number one delivered six consecutive legs to secure a stunning 6–5 victory at the 3Arena, collecting his second nightly win of the 2026 campaign and the £10,000 bonus.

Littler opened his night with a high-quality performance against Stephen Bunting.

Despite facing a 104 average from the former Masters champion, Littler held his ground in the key moments to claim a 6–3 victory and progress to the semi-finals.

He built on that momentum in a pulsating last-four clash.

Facing Michael van Gerwen, Littler overturned a 5–3 deficit and survived three match darts in a dramatic contest which saw both players produce spectacular 170 checkouts, sealing a 6–5 win to reach the final.
