Luke Littler bags second weekly title of 2025 Premier League Darts with dominant display in Night Five final over Nathan Aspinall

Luke Littler has taken the win on Night Five of the 2025 Premier League Darts in Brighton, defeating Nathan Aspinall 6-3 in the final after a dramatic night of darting action.

En route to the final, Littler had come through battles against Chris Dobey (6-5) and Michael van Gerwen (6-2). Aspinall meanwhile, had emerged victorious over Stephen Bunting (6-2) and Rob Cross (6-5). In the final though, it was Aspinall who took the opening leg, holding throw in what was a relatively slow start for both. After Littler then got on the board in leg 2, 'The Nuke' bagged the first break of the match in leg 3 to get himself in front at 2-1. Moments later it was 3-1 to Littler as he fired a 99 checkout on double 16.

After Littler missed a chance to go 4-1 ahead, 'The Asp' stopped the rot with a much needed hold of throw. After threatening a nine-darter in leg 6, Aspinall eventually found double 4 to level things back up at 3-3. Then it was Aspinall's chance to see an opportunity come and go, as he missed a dart at double 16 for a 4-3 lead. Once The Asp missed though, Littler punished, finding the double 16 segment to go 4-3 up himself.

After regaining his lead in that 7th leg, Littler further asserted his position on authority with a hold on throw in leg 8 to make it 5-3 in his favour. With Aspinall then unable to hold his throw in the next leg, Littler secured the nightly win with a 6-3 success.

Before this Night Five, there hadn't been a single nine-darter in the 2025 Premier League Darts. In astonishing scenes in Brighton though, there was not one but two perfect legs. Firstly, world number one and table-topper Luke Humphries struck perfection in his quarter-final against Rob Cross. Ultimately though, the nine-darter rather threw Humphries out of his stride and it was Cross the prevailed to the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, it was the then the turn of Cross himself to pull a moment of magic out of his bag. Already averaging up around the 111 mark, Cross was in top form in his semi-final against Nathan Aspinall. After trailing 2-0 early, 'Voltage' had reeled off three on the spin to get ahead at 3-2. Then came the nine-darter. After back-to-back maximums, Cross did exactly what Humphries had done against him, pinning a stunning 141 checkout for the perfect leg. Again though, it proved to be a death blow to Cross' hopes of victory as Aspinall took the 6-5 win to reach his second weekly final of this year's Premier League Darts.
