Jonny Clayton became the first player in the Premier League 2026 to pick up a second nightly win with a 6-1 hammering of Luke Humphries on Night Six in Nottingham.
It adds to Clayton's win on Night Three in Glasgow and means he has won two of three finals he has been involved with so far, losing to Luke Littler last time out in Cardiff on Night Five.
The victory sees Clayton pull away from the chasing pack at the top of the table on 19 points, moving him eight points clear of Littler in second place on 11.

Remarkably, Clayton picked up the win while limping throughout due to gout but the issue did not affect his darts as he beat Humphries, Stephen Bunting, and Michael van Gerwen to clinch the win.
Despite the joy for Clayton, it was a night marred by whistling issues at the Motorpoint Arena. The first incident occurred in Littler's quarter-final against Gerwyn Price which saw the world No 1 give a big celebration to the crowd in response.

Humphries also suffered with his own whistling issues as he then battled past Littler in the semi-finals, distracting him on a match dart before he eventually clinched the match and cupped his ears in that direction of the crowd.
