Nathan Aspinall Triumphs in Manchester: A Night of Premier League Darts Drama

Nathan Aspinall delivered a stunning performance at the AO Arena in Manchester, securing his first nightly win of the 2025 Premier League Darts season. The 33-year-old from Stockport overcame a 3-0 deficit to defeat world number one Luke Humphries 6-4 in a gripping final.

The Comeback

Seizing the opportunity, Aspinall won the next five legs consecutively, ultimately sealing the win in the 10th leg. His resilience and precision under pressure were key to his success.

Night of Records

The evening was also highlighted by a nine-darter from Gerwyn Price, his fourth in the Premier League, and an impressive 118.43 average from Humphries in the quarter-finals, the sixth-highest in PDC televised history.
