More from Jonny Clayton talking to Sky Sports: "I took chances tonight and that is all it is. I hurt Luke [Littler] at some times when I took out-shots that he missed. I'm taking them all.

"It is the grandpa and the young kid! No, all jokes aside, I've got a lot of respect for Luke. He's absolutely amazing and he's got years ahead of him. Luke is an amazing dart player and he's shown us what we need to do to beat him."

On the table: "It sounds alright. I'd have taken one win so to have fourth and be top of the table at the moment, happy days!"

Jonny Clayton talking to Sky Sports: "I don't know what happened there. I started off thinking I had to do something special because it is my 20th anniversary tonight and I did forget so maybe this makes it alright.

"I started off slow. Luke didn't play how he started off. Chances, you have to take them and I took them again tonight. That's all that counts."

Any similarities to 2021: "I don't know to be honest. I just come up here and try and win every game of darts. I don't watch many games back but I watched last week's game against Michael [van Gerwen] back and it hurt a little bit when someone said I was favourite to finish bottom, that really hurt and annoyed me to be honest. It is going good for myself so I've got a massive smile on my face."

On what made him watch last week back: "I just don't think I could believe that I was 5-2 down to Michael and came back to win. I thought 'I am going to have a look at this' and I think it gave me a little bit of confidence for tonight. It did hurt when they said I was favourite to finish bottom. That really hurt. I've been here three times before and I've done finals night so hopefully I can prove them wrong.

"Definitely [on whether it has given him some fuel]. They might be looking at some other people. They've got the wrong person."

A fourth nightly win for Jonny Clayton. He is now on 29 points at the top of the Premier League.

Perfect start when throwing for the match. A 180 to begin for Jonny Clayton, although he follows it up with just 60.

Clayton is the first to get down to a finish, with 161 to go. Luke Littler's throw means he has 195 left, so Clayton's 30 does not look too costly.

Littler then drills in 133 to keep up the pressure. Clayton goes tops, tops for the nightly win... but his third dart goes over.

But wait, Littler can't hit tops himself to snatch the leg! Clayton pins it.

Less said about that leg the better for Jonny Clayton. He is a long way behind Luke Littler, who hits another maximum, throughout.

Littler has 40 left and ends up finishing on double 10.

Nobody has been better in that kind of situation than Jonny Clayton in this year's Premier League.

Some of Luke Littler's treble hitting has been immense. He has hit six 180s.

It doesn't matter. Jonny Clayton takes out 78 - with one dart at double tops - to win the leg and go one from victory.

That was the lesser-spotted 17-dart break of throw.

You don't get many of those in the Premier League.

Jonny Clayton is back in front!

Another leg where both players struggle to score. He takes out 17 in the end with one and double eight.

It has got a little bit scrappy. 17 darts to break Luke Littler's throw.

Jonny Clayton starts this leg with a 180. He is once again the first down to a finish, albeit 164.

Littler gets down to 81 left and goes for a finish on the bullseye, but strays outside.

Five and his trusty double 10 wraps up the leg.

Jonny Clayton is looking OK now after looking in trouble.

That is more like it from Jonny Clayton, albeit in a leg where both players struggle to score.

He is first down to a finish and wraps up the leg by taking out 48 on double eight.

Would you believe it? Yet another 180 from Luke Littler. He follows it up with a 140 - they feel disappointing given how he is playing in this one.

Littler gets down to 80 left but ends up scoring 60.

Clayton finds the single and treble to get himself a dart at double 16, but missed. Littler then can't see off the 20 and ends up with two left. Clayton eventually finds his double.

Early doors, but Luke Littler has rattled the ferrets' cage.
