Welsh darts player Jonny Clayton has praised Luke Littler for his ability to remain unfazed by a hostile crowd in Rotterdam, where Clayton secured his second consecutive nightly win in the Premier League. Clayton's fourth nightly win of the campaign extended his lead at the top of the table to five points, following a win against world champion Littler. The Welshman overcame home favorite Michael van Gerwen, Josh Rock, and Littler to claim victory at the Rotterdam Ahoy.
Clayton trailed 2-0 but rallied to take three legs straight and later secured a clutch 78 outshot to lead. Although Littler threatened a comeback with a 15-dart hold, Clayton capitalized on his opponent's profligate finishing to take the win. "He's got everything that every other player wishes for," Clayton said of Littler. "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, moving 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, where the race for the Play-Offs intensifies.
