Standings Premier League Darts 2025: Luke Littler strengthens lead after Cardiff clincher as Michael van Gerwen rises

The seventh night in the Premier League Darts in Cardiff once again brought a spectacle, with Luke Littler as the big standout. The 18-year-old was in top form and managed to finish the evening impressively victorious. He strengthened his leading position in the standings and can almost smell participation in the playoffs at less than half the duration thus far.

The evening began with some surprises. Michael van Gerwen beat Luke Humphries in a thrilling match, while Gerwyn Price unexpectedly lost to Rob Cross in front of his own crowd. Chris Dobey, who is having a difficult season so far, took an important victory over Stephen Bunting and Nathan Aspinall was defeated by the unleashed Littler.

In the semifinals, Van Gerwen finally managed to advance to a weekly final for the first time this season. In a disappointing match, he effortlessly defeated Dobey 6-1. At the other end of the schedule, Littler was once again supreme. With impressive play, he defeated Rob Cross and qualified for the final, where a cracker against Van Gerwen awaited.
