Luke Littler has broken yet another darting record with his stunning 6-1 win over Stephen Bunting on night 16 of Premier League Darts.

'The Nuke' entered the final night of league action in Sheffield knowing he was already safely through to finals night as the group winner.

Littler has won five separate weeks this season, with his latest win over eighth-placed Bunting only extending his advantage at the top.

But the 18-year-old set another incredible record in the process.

He has now picked up the most points in a single Premier League season, with the victory ensuring he will end the night on at least 42 points.

Littler won his decisive sixth leg with an astonishing 127 checkout, with 'The Nuke' succeeding with all six of his double attempts and averaging 114.

He has already become the first player in Premier League history to win on five separate nights.

The change of Premier League format, introduced in 2022, has allowed players to rack up significantly more points than they would have been able to in the old format.

In that first year, Jonny Clayton hit the 40-point mark by winning 24 of his 36 matches.

Littler matched that tally last year, in what was his Premier League debut.

He subsequently became the youngest winner of a major tournament in PDC history, defeating Luke Humphries 11-7 in the final at the O2 Arena.

That match-up could be repeated this year, with Humphries guaranteed to once again finish second behind Littler in the league table.

Prior to the format change, the eight entrants would only play one match per week, with two points awarded for a win and one for a draw.

The record holders under the old format were Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen, who both achieved a highest total of 26 points over the league phase.
