Clayton Impressed by Littler's Composure in Hostile Rotterdam Crowd

Jonny Clayton praised Luke Littler's ability to remain unfazed by the hostile crowd in Rotterdam, as Clayton secured his second consecutive nightly win in the Premier League. The Welshman's victory marked his fourth nightly win of the campaign, extending his lead at the top of the table to five points. Clayton 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 began the final trailing 2-0 but rallied to take the lead, eventually securing the win with a clutch 78 outshot. Littler threatened a comeback but Clayton capitalized on his opponent's profligate finishing to take the win. Clayton joked about Littler's potential for revenge, saying, 'I'm not going to say anything because Littler will come back and beat me up.' Clayton also praised Littler, stating, '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 heads to the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, where the race for the Play-Offs intensifies, with home hero Stephen Bunting taking on Clayton and Luke Humphries facing Littler.
