“This is a sensation whether the course of the game”, Sport1 commentator Basti smoldered into his microphone when van Gerwen ended the game with tops and only as a third player in the history of the Premier League could still turn a high deficit.
Littler started very strongly and immediately took off his opponent with a 12-darter.
He then increased to 2-0 and started the third leg with six perfect darts. The Englishman missed the 9-darter afterwards, but was able to break van Gerwen for the second time.
