Luke Littler Beats Luke Humphries 6-5 to Top Aberdeen Score

Luke Littler won the aberdeen score, beating Luke Humphries 6-5 in the Premier League Darts final on Night 13 and moving back to the top of the table. The 19-year-old leapfrogged Johnny Clayton with three Premier League nights left before the final on May 28 at the O2.

Aberdeen Final

Littler closed out Humphries in a one-leg final, a result that flipped the standings again at the sharp end of the league phase. He said after the match that Aberdeen felt a bit flat, adding that Premier League Darts needs another Scottish player to bring the atmosphere up a little bit.

That comment came after a night in which he had already stacked up another final appearance, extending a run of three finals in as many weeks. For a player who has been booed and jeered through much of this campaign, the win in Aberdeen carried a simple message: he still has the points and the form to move back ahead when the table tightens.

Humphries' Route

Humphries had done enough earlier in the night to force the final into a meeting with Littler. He beat Michael Van Gerwen and Gian Van Veen before falling short in the last match, leaving his best work in Aberdeen undone at the finish.

Littler also pointed to a different crowd experience from earlier in the season, saying Rotterdam was the loudest crowd he had ever played in front of. Against that backdrop, Aberdeen became less about noise and more about the numbers: a 6-5 win, first place regained, and one more climb at the top of the table before the league phase narrows further.

Premier League Table

The table now has Littler back in front with only three Premier League nights left before the final on May 28. He began the Premier League with four wins in year one and six in year two, and the Aberdeen result added another line to a season in which he has already reached three finals in as many weeks.
