Luke Littler remained unfazed by the negative reception he received from the Liverpool crowd as he emerged victorious on Night 12 of the Premier League, stating that his experience in Rotterdam the previous week was far more challenging. The recent jeers directed towards Littler stem from his altercation with Dutch player Gian van Veen on Night Nine in Manchester, which has led to a series of tense matches. Despite the hostile crowd, Littler persevered and secured his fifth nightly win by defeating Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, and Jonny Clayton, narrowing the gap with Clayton to just three points. Littler expressed his resolve, stating, 'It is what it is.
I've won, and we move on to next week.' He acknowledged that the Rotterdam crowd was more intense but emphasized his focus on winning and his ability to perform under pressure. The dispute between Littler and Van Veen remains unresolved, with the two players yet to speak since their on-stage spat.
However, Littler is looking forward to settling their differences on the dartboard when they meet again.
