MVG SHOWS NO MERSEY TO LITTLER

LUKE LITTLER squandered an invincible hand as his trip behind enemy lines became a nightmare.

- MIKE WALTERS

Michael van Gerwen completed one of the great comebacks of the 2025 BetMGM Premier League season to make a miserable week for 'Luke the Nuke' even worse.

From 4-0 up, Littler (left) missed a dart to make it 5-0 and two more for a 6-3 win after being greeted at Liverpool’s M&S Bank arena by a chorus of boos as he is a Manchester United fan.

But to widespread disbelief, Van Gerwen clawed his way back to snatch a 6-5 win in the deciding leg as the league leader’s advantage evaporated.
