Luke Littler dominated Stephen Bunting en route to another impressive win despite facing boos from the crowd at the Premier League Darts event in Newcastle. Known as “The Nuke,” Littler continued his outstanding performance, maintaining a comfortable lead at the top of the table. The 18-year-old faced Bunting, who was struggling at the bottom of the league without a single win. Despite the crowd’s support for Bunting, Littler remained unfazed by the initial boos from the audience and showcased exceptional darts skills on the stage.
During the match, Littler displayed remarkable precision, scoring five 180s, two 100-plus finishes, and successfully hitting six out of 12 darts at doubles to defeat Bunting 6-0 within a quick 10-minute timeframe. Expressing his determination to maintain his top position, Littler emphasized his goal of finishing at the top for the second consecutive year. Although Bunting put up a respectable performance with an average of 102, Littler’s outstanding average of 110 secured his victory.
Following his win against Bunting, Littler continued his winning streak by defeating Rob Cross in the semi-final, earning a spot in the final against Luke Humphries. Despite a challenging semi-final match against Nathan Aspinall, Humphries could not match Littler’s performance in the final, ultimately losing 6-1 to the young talent.
