Chris Dobey picked up his first Premier League Darts nightly win of 2025 with a 6-2 victory over Stephen Bunting in the final on Night 11 in Rotterdam.
A fortnight ago, Bunting secured his first points of the entire campaign en route to clinching a night victory in Berlin, but could not back it up in the final after an evening in which he beat Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler.
The final between Bunting and Dobey saw eighth face seventh – the first time such a clash has happened since week six of 2022 – with The Bullet failing to turn up vs Hollywood when it mattered.
With a semi-final defeat to Bunting, Littler missed out on the chance to pick up a record fifth Premier League nightly win for 2025 – under the current format introduced in 2022, the record for nightly wins in a single campaign is four.
The opening three quarter-finals of the night produced three surprise results as Dobey beat Luke Humphries 6-3, Nathan Aspinall defeated Gerwyn Price 6-3 and Bunting stunned home favourite Van Gerwen 6-5.
Littler then took on Rob Cross, and having survived a match dart, was forced to take out a sensational 145 to claim a dramatic 6-5 win and progress to the semi-finals.
Dobey cruised past Aspinall 6-2 into the final seeking his first nightly win of the campaign, before Bunting secured a wonderful 6-5 victory over Littler in an epic semi-final – Littler a whisker away from checking out 138 with a match dart which hit the wire of double nine.
The final proved thoroughly one-sided, however, as Dobey streaked to 5-1 ahead, clinching the night the next time he had the darts.
