Luke Littler won night five of the Premier League in Brighton on an evening which saw two nine-dart finishes.
The 18-year-old claimed his second night victory of the year with a 6-3 win in the final over Nathan Aspinall.
Defending champion Littler hit five 180s as he triumphed again, four days after thrashing James Wade 11-2 to win the UK Open.
“I’ve always been confident in my own ability, but the way my darts are going at the minute, it’s probably the best I’ve ever played on a consistent basis,” Littler told Sky Sports.
World number one Luke Humphries hit the first Premier League nine-darter of 2025 in the quarter-finals but was beaten by Rob Cross, who went on to seal his own perfect leg against Aspinall before losing a decider.
The pair both receive a set of solid gold darts, worth an estimated £30,000 each, from league sponsors Bet MGM.
Littler’s victory sees him cut the gap on league leader Humphries to two points from seven, with the pair meeting in Nottingham next week.
In a rematch of January’s world final, where Littler become darts’ youngest champion, he came out on top again in Brighton with a 6-2 victory over Michael van Gerwen in the semi-finals.
The Dutchman, a seven-time Premier League champion, has yet to make a final in this year’s competition.
