Luke Littler beat Premier League leader Jonny Clayton 6-4 in a top quality final at Utilita Arena in Cardiff.

Littler broke Clayton in the opening leg of the final, but 'The Ferret' hit straight back with a break of his own after 'The Nuke' failed to checkout 68 with three darts in hand.

A bullseye finish from Clayton gave the home crowd in Cardiff more to celebrate, as the 51-year-old took a first lead of the final.

But Littler showed why he is the back-to-back world champion, hitting the 'Big Fish' checkout of 170 - just as he had done to clinch victory in the semi-final against Gerwyn Price.

Both players held throw as the final reached its halfway stage with the score level at three legs each.

Littler almost sent the crowd wild with a nine-dart finish, only to miss double 15 and see Clayton return to the oche to check out the 41 remaining in an incredible leg.
