Description:
Luke Littler won the Premier League 2024 title after cruising past rival Luke Humphries in the final on Thursday night. <br/><br/>The 17-year-old sensation triumphed 11-7 over rival Luke Humphries in the showpiece event to claim the £275,000 prize after a stunning performance at the O2 Arena in London.<br/><br/>It was a closely contested affair until Littler took control of the match by hitting a terrific nine-dart finish in the 11th leg, to go into a 6-5 lead.<br/><br/>Littler hit back-to-back 180s before checking out on 141 with a treble 20, treble 19, and a double 12 to send him on his way to victory on the night.<br/><br/>After clinching the leg, Littler powered on into a 10-7 lead and dispatched Humphries after leaving himself on 40 and then hitting a double 20.<br/><br/>It proved to be an emotional moment for Littler who, after clinching the final leg, went over to his family and girlfriend, Eloise Milburn.<br/><br/>Speaking to Sky Sports after winning, Littler said: 'For all the doubters, you're not doubting me anymore! I've just picked up this.<br/><br/>'It's so good to win but in front of my family and my girlfriend! I don't know what to do.<br/><br/>'I've hit a nine-darter on the World Series and so did Phil [Taylor] - now I've hit one in the final here and so did he.' <br/><br/>Littler became the first player to throw a nine-dart finish in the Premier League final since Phil Taylor did it twice in 2010.<br/><br/>Littler booked his place in the final on Thursday after cruising past Michael Smith 10-5 earlier in the night to set up a repeat of the World Championship final.<br/><br/>On that night in January, it was Humphries who came out on top after a thrilling 7-4 clash but, on this occasion, it was Littler who left with the trophy. <br/><br/>In his first time in the competition, across 16 weeks of league action, Littler flourished and finished top of the table with 40 points after winning four nights.<br/><br/>His phenomenal form has earned him a place on finals night in London, where he was joined by Humphries, Smith, and Michael van Gerwen.<br/><br/>Those three men have five world titles between them but, as the last five months have proved, Littler wasn't fazed one bit by the competition.<br/><br/>Littler painted an emotional figure as he rushed to hug his girlfriend Milburn, who only began attending the 17-year-old's matches at the start of the month.<br/><br/>They first went public with their relationship during the World Championship after meeting on the darts circuit last year, and Milburn has remained by Littler's side in 2024. <br/><br/>Humphries, meanwhile, also spoke to Sky Sports after his defeat and said: 'I was trying to stick in there - there was a massive breeze coming across the stage all night and it's so hard to deal with.<br/><br/>'It's a credit to Luke, he managed it all night so well. When I went to the break 5-5 I had stuck in there.<br/><br/>'But then all of a sudden the breeze stopped and he's played much better - he's such a fantastic player, he is.<br/><br/>'I think me and Luke are the two greatest players in the world at the moment and this was another great battle
