Luke Littler’s wait to break Premier League Darts record goes on as Stephen Bunting’s stunning revival continues

Luke Littler’s pursuit of a record fifth nightly win in the Premier League Darts was halted in dramatic fashion on Thursday night, as Stephen Bunting secured a thrilling 6-5 victory in Rotterdam.

The teenage sensation, 18, trailed 5-2 after seven legs but mounted a spirited comeback to force a deciding leg. With a 138 checkout on the line, Littler narrowly missed double nine with his final dart—just grazing the wire.

Bunting took full advantage, calmly finding treble 18 followed by double eight to close out the match and book his spot in the final.

This defeat delays Littler’s quest to set a new milestone in the tournament, while Bunting’s resurgence continues to impress fans and pundits alike.
