Premier League Night Seven: Littler Leads Remarkable Fightback In Dublin
A night defined by resilience, precision and elite-level finishing. Luke Littler delivered one of the most extraordinary comebacks in Premier League history to secure Night Seven honours in Dublin.
Trailing 5–0 in the final against Gerwyn Price, the world number one produced six consecutive legs to complete a stunning 6–5 turnaround at the 3Arena, claiming his second nightly win of the 2026 campaign and the £10,000 bonus.
Littler opened with a strong, controlled performance against Stephen Bunting.
Despite facing a 104 average from the former Masters champion, he managed the key moments effectively to secure a 6–3 victory and progress to the semi-finals.
That composure carried into a high-intensity last-four clash.
Facing Michael van Gerwen, Littler overturned a 5–3 deficit and survived three match darts in a dramatic encounter which also featured duelling 170 checkouts, sealing a 6–5 win to reach the final.

The final delivered one of the defining matches of the season.
Price surged into a 5–0 lead and appeared set to complete one of the most dominant nightly performances in Premier League history, building on his earlier control throughout the evening.
However, the momentum shifted decisively.
Missed opportunities from the Welshman opened the door, and Littler capitalised—stringing together six consecutive legs to force a deciding leg.
