Luke Littler rounded off the Premier League regular season by breaking more records on a night which saw Nathan Aspinall book his place in next week's Play-Offs at the O2.

The defending champion's record-extending sixth nightly title of the campaign saw him set a new benchmark of points tally of 45 as he sent out yet another ominous warning to his rivals ahead of the season climax.

Littler produced a show-stopping 170 checkout in yet another final with Luke Humphries that he won 6-3 while he'd earlier routed Stephen Bunting 6-1 with a 114 average and 100% on the doubles before beating Aspinall for the 12th time in succession.

Record points tally: 45
Record nights won: 6
Record number of 180s: 169
Record seasonal average (in this format): 103
Record number of 100+ checkouts: 39

The Asp was far from disappointed with his semi-final exit having previously defeated Michael van Gerwen for the fourth time in a row to seal his play-off spot at the expense of the Dutchman, who headed to Sheffield knowing he needed to win his first night of the campaign to earn his place at the O2.

It's a huge accomplishment for the Stockport thrower, whose inclusion in the eight-man event was criticised by sections of fans and pundits back in January.

As for Littler, he also ended the season with a record number of 180s (169), a record seasonal average in this format (103) and a record number of 100+ checkouts with 39.

Not only did Luke Littler set the record for most Premier League points (45) & nights won (6), he was also in a league of his own when it comes to the key stats 🤯

“I’m very happy to finish top of the table and break more records once again,” reflected Littler, who landed seven ton-plus checkouts across the evening.

“The finishing wasn’t too bad tonight, so hopefully I can continue that at The O2 next week.

“I’m ready for the semi-finals. It’s The O2 - I’ve been there before, I’ve won a semi-final before, but so has Gerwyn.

“I know it’s going to be an incredible night; it’s going to be a sell-out, and I’m really looking forward to it."

Littler will now renew his rivalry with Gerwyn Price in next Thursday's Play-Offs, with Humphries and Aspinall also set to battle it out for Premier League glory at The O2 in London.
