Clayton Impressed by Littler's Composure in Hostile Rotterdam Crowd

Jonny Clayton expressed admiration for Luke Littler's ability to remain unfazed by the hostile Rotterdam crowd, as Clayton secured his second consecutive nightly win in the Premier League. Clayton's fourth nightly victory of the campaign extended his lead at the top of the table to five points, following a win against world champion Littler. The Welsh No 1 overcame home favorite Michael van Gerwen, Josh Rock, and Littler to claim victory at the Rotterdam Ahoy, bringing his points tally to 29 after just 11 weeks. Clayton initially trailed 2-0 against Littler but rallied, taking three legs straight to lead for the first time in the match. He later took out a crucial 78 outshot, and after Littler threatened a comeback, Clayton capitalized on his opponent's profligate finishing to secure the win. Clayton praised Littler, saying, 'He's got everything that every other player wishes for. He's got that attitude, he's got the throw, he's got the mentality. He's got everything.' Littler bolstered his chances of a Play-Off spot by making his fourth final in seven weeks, seeing off Gerwyn Price and Josh Rock to move up to 24 points in the standings. The Premier League continues with another crucial night of action at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, as the race for the Play-Offs intensifies.
