Aspinall Wins Aberdeen Night, Littler Secures Premier League Top Seed

Nathan Aspinall secured a commanding 6-1 victory over Chris Dobey on Night 15 of the Premier League in Aberdeen, moving into fourth place and closing in on a play-off spot, while Michael van Gerwen's chances of qualifying now depend on winning the final night in Sheffield. Luke Littler delivered a stellar performance throughout the evening, including a thrilling quarter-final comeback against world number one Luke Humphries, finishing with a remarkable average of nearly 116 and securing the top seed position for the playoffs. Despite Humphries' impressive nine 180s and a 110 average, Littler's consistent high scoring and finishing proved decisive. Gerwyn Price achieved a nine-dart finish for the second time in the season during his quarter-final defeat, highlighting his continued strong form despite his loss. Dobey also showcased resilience by defeating Littler in a semi-final decider after a late comeback, but ultimately fell to Aspinall in the final. The event was widely praised for its high quality of play and excitement, with commentators hailing it as one of the best nights in Premier League darts history.
