Gerwyn Price secured his third nightly victory in the 2025 Premier League Darts campaign, dominating in Liverpool to climb to third place in the standings. Meanwhile, Luke Littler suffered a dramatic 6-5 defeat to Michael van Gerwen, despite an electric 4-0 lead and a hostile reception from the local crowd.

🎯 Price Clinches Night 12 with Red-Hot Form

The Welshman, known as “The Iceman”, ended the night with a 6-4 win over Luke Humphries in the final, having earlier brushed aside Rob Cross and Chris Dobey. Averaging 104.43 in the final and topping 100 in every match, Price proved why he’s a serious contender for the Premier League Darts title this year.

“When I’m on my game, I am the best in the world,” said Price. “I just need to be more consistent. There’s no reason I can’t win this.”

Price’s win in Liverpool follows earlier victories in Dublin and Nottingham, making him the fifth different winner in the past five weeks.

👎 Littler Booed in Liverpool, Blows 4-0 Lead

Luke Littler, Premier League leader and 2024 champion, endured a night of heartbreak at the M&S Bank Arena. The 18-year-old Manchester United fan was met with boos from the Liverpool crowd, despite posting pre-match: “Bring on the boos, Liverpool.”

Undeterred at first, Littler raced to a 4-0 lead and looked on course for a record-breaking fifth nightly win. But missed darts at bullseye and double-top proved costly. Van Gerwen, a seven-time Premier League champion, clawed back to steal the win in a nail-biting 6-5 finish.

Littler still tops the table with 30 points, keeping his play-off spot secure for now.
