Luke Littler claims his second Premier League weekly win of the season

ByPaul HighamBBC Sport journalist

Luke Littler produced an astonishing comeback from 5-0 down to stun Gerwyn Price and win week seven of Premier League Darts in Dublin.

Price, who won in Dublin last year, was dominant as he raced into the lead, but he missed chance after chance to kill off the game as the world champion came roaring back.

As the Welshman missed five darts for the match, Littler reeled off six legs on the spin for his second weekly victory of the season.

The 19-year-old cut the gap to league leader Jonny Clayton down to just three points after a thrilling night of Premier League action with some eye-catching performances.

Littler had earlier beaten Michael van Gerwen in another 6-5 thriller that contained two maximum 170 finishes, while Price had been clinical when whitewashing winless Josh Rock 6-0 and then thumping defending Premier League champion Luke Humphries 6-1.

But Price's game just deserted him in the end when just one more double would have seen him finish off an otherwise dominant display.

Premier League Darts format and points system

Premier League Darts is played across 16 initial weeks in the league stage with quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final each night.

Each of the eight players is guaranteed to face the other seven in the quarter-finals in weeks one to seven and 9-15, with week eight and week 16 fixtures done off the table. It means we will get fourth v fifth in Sheffield on the final league-stage night, with the play-off spots potentially on the line.

Players earn two points per quarter-final win, an additional point if they win their semi-final and five for winning the night.

The top four players after the group stage progress to the play-off night at London's O2 Arena on 23 May, with first facing fourth and second against third in a best-of-19-leg match. The final, which is the best of 21 legs, follows.

If players are level on points after the 16 weeks then places are decided by nights won and then matches won.
