Arabic version: لوك ليتلر يتفوق على جوني كلايتون في نهائي كارديف

Luke Littler beat Premier League leader Jonny Clayton 6-4 in a final held at Utilita Arena in Cardiff. The match showcased high-quality darts, starting with Littler breaking Clayton’s throw in the opening leg, only for Clayton to respond with a break of his own following Littler’s missed checkout attempt.

According to BBC News, Clayton delighted the home crowd by taking the lead after hitting a bullseye finish. However, Littler, the back-to-back world champion, responded with a remarkable 170 checkout, a feat he had also achieved in his semi-final against Gerwyn Price.

Both players held their throws as the final reached a balanced three legs each. Littler almost sent the crowd wild with a nine-dart finish but missed double 15, allowing Clayton to check out 41. Littler regained momentum, leveling the match before breaking Clayton’s throw again to move within a leg of victory. He sealed the win by checking out 52 with his last dart, marking his first night win of the 2026 Premier League campaign and elevating him into the top four.

Despite the loss, Clayton remains at the top of the Premier League table following another strong performance. Littler’s victory is a significant moment in his campaign as he navigates through the tournament, demonstrating his focus and skill on the oche.
