Teenager Luke Littler continued his extraordinary rise as he won his first Premier League Darts night with a 6-4 win over Nathan Aspinall in Belfast.
Littler, 17, rose to prominence when he was runner-up to Luke Humphries in the World Darts Championship on debut.
The Premier League debutant had reached the final in week two in Berlin but lost to Michael van Gerwen.
He beat Humphries, who defeated him in January's World final, in the quarter-finals, and Van Gerwen in the semis.
The win leaves Littler second in the eight-player Premier League Darts table with the top four progressing to the play-offs on 23 May at London's O2 Arena.
