Littler Vows to Overtake Clayton After Thrilling Victory

Luke Littler secured his second nightly win of the Premier League season in Dublin, overcoming a 5-0 deficit to defeat Gerwyn Price in a thrilling last-leg decider. The 2024 champion now sets his sights on chasing down league leader Jonny Clayton, determined to finish at the top once again. Littler's remarkable comeback was marked by a dramatic shift in momentum after he finally gained a leg, with Price crumbling under pressure. The world champion then sealed the win by taking out 81 on double 15. Littler, who moves up to second in the table, expressed his desire to close the gap on Clayton, stating, 'I am just closing that gap on Jonny... I want to do it again.' Despite drawing the ire of the Dublin crowd, Littler praised the electric atmosphere at the 3 Arena, acknowledging the challenges of performing in such an environment. He remains focused on his goal, insisting, 'I am right behind him now and chasing.' The Premier League continues on Thursday, March 26, in Berlin, where Littler will face Stephen Bunting in his bid for a third nightly victory of 2026.
