Luke Littler will get his first fine in the PDC after this moment he had during his game with Gerywn Price in the Premier League. He was frustrated when he didn’t get a chance to win the match and because of that he used the F-word which will result in a fine by the DRA.

It was the first time we saw The Nuke in such a condition, where he had no reason to be ashamed of his performance. He narrowly lost 5-6 and recorded an average of 97.04. While Littler left the stage disappointed, there was relief and joy on Gerwyn Price’s side.
Right from the start of the match, The Iceman made himself heard with a loud roar when he took one of the first legs. After that, he was quieter and seemed more focused, which paid off for him.
Not only did he win this match against the World Championship finalist, but he also came close to a 9-darter. Earlier in the evening, Nathan Aspinall missed double 12 for the perfect leg, and this time the former world champion started from 141 on triple 19. It hit, and after hitting triple 20 with the second dart, he also had the chance for double 12.
Aspinall narrowly missed the outside of the double, and Gerwyn Price hit it just on the inside. Both failed to achieve the perfect leg. Price threw the leg in 11 darts in the retry, but there was no second chance for The Asp because Luke Humphries was waiting on 41 after an equally fantastic leg and immediately seized the opportunity.
