The teenager boosted his chances of defending his title on Thursday night

Luke Littler has banked £10,000 after he overcame Luke Humphries to win night two of the Premier League on Thursday.

The teenager had gone into the evening hoping to bounce back, having fallen to defeat to Michael van Gerwen in Belfast last time out.


However, Littler was outstanding on Thursday night as he boosted his chances of defending his title.

His night started with a 6-5 victory over Rob Cross, with the Briton then following up that win with another over Van Gerwen.

That will be particularly sweet for the youngster, especially given his growing feud with the Dutchman after recently turning up late to a photoshoot.

In the final, fans were treated to another classic with Littler facing off against Humphries.

The showdown, despite being marred by crowd trouble, didn't disappoint - with Littler winning 6-5.

There is an overall pot worth £1million for the Premier League darts.

But the winner of each night takes home £10,000, which is exactly what Littler has now done.

Both the youngster and Humphries had to contend with fans whistling during the showdown in Glasgow, much to their frustration.

And Littler, speaking after the match, admitted he was frustrated.

"Yeah, obviously, there was a few in particular that were doing it [whistling] when Luke [Humphries] was throwing," said the darts star.

"Kirk [Bevins, match referee] told them to be quiet and it got even worse, and then I missed doubles and Luke breaks at 5-4.

"I'm just like, 'Kirk, you've made it worse for me there, I'm 5-4 down.' But I broke back and held my throw very strongly again.

"If it's the same (outcome) as what it was when Kirk said it, then obviously just leave it.

"Obviously, they've got to step in at some point and say something. But yeah, that was pretty bad, but I got the win."

As for Humphries, the world No 1 stated: "A difficult night all round, and I just fell short in the end.

"An unexpected finger injury didn't help either.

"Fair play to @LukeTheNuke180 and I'll be back next week to do it all again in Dublin."
