Littler won his second Premier League week on the bounce, and speaking to Sky after the finish he said: "I'm glad I won. I've definitely settled into it [the Premier League]. "The first five or six weeks, I won then lost and lost. I've grown in confidence. "There's still six weeks to go, but I'm sure if I keep getting two or three points a week I will get into the play-offs." Wayne Mardle added, when speaking to Sky Sports: "Luke [Littler] coming along and doing what he's doing has kind of changed my opinion about how things should be done. "He's opened my eyes up. He's not sticking to convention. "Tonight we've seen more of the real Luke Littler than we've ever seen. What he did last week was great, but he won differently this week, it was just honest darts. It was just 'I love this'. I thought he was magnificent and I want to see more of that."
