Michael van Gerwen made it a hattrick of wins in the 2024 Premier League as he defeated Nathan Aspinall in the final in Newcastle.
Van Gerwen started his evening with victory over Gerwyn Price, before coming through a close encounter with new-found rival Luke Litter. Aspinall defeated Michael Smith and Rob Cross to pick up his first wins in this year's Premier League.

The Dutchman was broken in the first leg and out of sight in the second as Aspinall found himself 2-0 up in the blink of an eye. But 'The Green Machine' won the next three legs, which included back-to-back 11-darters, to put the match back on throw.
Aspinall had a valiant attempt at a 154 checkout, agonisingly missing double 17 and it was all he was afforded as van Gerwen clicked into gear with a 10-darter. Another hold forced his opponent to have to win the next four legs, but Aspinall showed his typical fighting spirit, steadying the ship and then attacking the van Gerwen throw with a 170 checkout to raise the roof. The Dutchman kept his composure though, seeing out the match on double 18 to win his third Premier League Night in a row.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
