  "textContent": "\n\n\nLuke Littler has claimed revenge over Jonny Clayton in Liverpool after losing last week in Rotterdam, with a comprehensive win on night 12 of the Premier League of darts.\n\nThe world number one showed excellent composure and blocked out the hostile crowd to win 6-1.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nLittler won the opening leg of the final despite pressure from Clayton with a D4 checkout.\n\nThe world number one then broke the Welshman to claim the second leg with a fabulous D20 finish.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nClayton did not get going in the final, missing multiple darts at a double, including on leg four, where he had several chances to check out, before gifting Littler another break of throw.\n\nThe Welshman appeared defeated after that moment, as he struggled to deal with the momentum from the world number one.\n\nHe did claim one leg with a D16, but Littler asserted his dominance with some great set-up play in the last leg to leave him 58.\n\nThe world number one with an 18, D20 finish, won the night in a commanding victory.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * BBC cuts Football Focus from its screens in latest axe made by corporation\n  * Luke Littler booed in Liverpool upon entering arena for night 12 of Premier League\n  * Fifa responds after Donald Trump envoy called for Italy to replace Iran at World Cup\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nLittler previously won his semi-final clash in a dramatic 6-5 victory over Michael Van Gerwen.\n\nThe 19-year-old knew how big a victory it was, letting out a loud cheer and fist pump as he looked towards his family.\n\nClayton also won his semi-final 6-5 against another Dutchman, Gian van Veen, who rose up to fifth in the table.\n\nGerwyn Price and Van Gerwen take up the other top four spots with Littler and Clayton.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIt was another disappointing evening for Luke Humphries, who struggled to find his form during his quarter-final match against Littler.\n\nDespite the youngster coming out to a chorus of boos in Liverpool, Humphries could not get his darts warm and fell to a 6-2 defeat.\n\nJosh Rock remains at the bottom of the league, following a 6-3 defeat to Van Gerwen.\n\nLittler has been public enemy number one for the past couple of weeks following his bust-up with Van Veen in Manchester.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe world number one did not let it faze him, though, rallying himself up throughout large periods of the night.\n\nLittler celebrated towards his family throughout the evening and made a few gestures to the crowd upon the whistle and boos.\n\nThe Premier League travels to Scotland next week for night 13 in Aberdeen.\n\nLittler will be looking to replicate his success from tonight and continue to close the gap against the Welshman.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
