Rampant Luke Littler races past Rob Cross and secures third weekly title of Premier League campaign in Liverpool
PDC
Luke Littler has claimed victory on Night 13 of the 2024 Premier League Darts in Liverpool after a 6-2 victory over Rob Cross in the final.
With Littler having seen off Gerwyn Price (6-3) and Nathan Aspinall (6-5) en route to the weekly final, and Rob Cross defeating both Michael Smith (6-4) and Michael van Gerwen (6-2), an intriguing showdown was set.
Immediately laying down a marker, Littler took the opening leg with brilliant 111 checkout. A clinical 86 in the second leg doubled his lead before a 13-dart break of throw then saw the teenager race into a three leg advantage.
Another ruthless combination checkout, this time 68, then saw Littler move four clear. With his average well over 100, Littler continued to romp towards victory, going 5-0 on double 10 before Cross finally got himself on the board in leg 6. With a hold of throw in leg 7, Cross had another leg back but a magnificent comeback was not to be as Littler secured a 6-2 victory in the very next leg.
With this nightly win, Littler returns to the top of the league table and is now all but officially confirmed to qualify for the playoffs on what has been an incredible debut campaign.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
