Luke Littler cruised to a 6-1 final victory over Luke Humphries on Night Eight of the Premier League in Newcastle to extend his dominant lead at the top of the table.
The Newcastle final marked Littler’s fifth time in the ‘big dance’ and he has now won on four occasions, adding to his Night Two triumph in Glasgow, Night Five success in Brighton and Night Six win in Cardiff.
It is his second Premier League nightly final win over Humphries in 2025 too after he earned a 6-5 victory over the world No 1 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.
In another incredible stat, ‘The Nuke’ has now hit over 100 maximums in the 2025 Premier League season, reaching the landmark total in 171 legs and remarkably before any other player has reached the half-century mark.
