Quarter-finals
Semi-finals
Result: Price 6-1 Van Gerwen
That semi-final took not much longer than 10 minutes. Gerwyn Price cruised it and for a fifth time in a row in a Premier League semi-final this year, Michael van Gerwen has been beaten.
Price averaged a whopping 107.25 in that match, hit four 180s and took six out of 11 darts at doubles.
MVG averaged 97.58, but hardly laid a glove on Price.
Result: Price 6-1 Van Gerwen
Image source, PA MediaMichael van Gerwen builds from that last leg win with a 180 to start leg seven, although it is cancelled out by Gerwyn Price, who has been excellent.
On 87, Price cannot finish for the match but will come back after Van Gerwen can't see off 170.
The double 20 takes it and Price wins 6-1. That was impressive.
Price 5-1 Van Gerwen
Michael van Gerwen needs to win six legs in a row to avoid a defeat, which seems inevitbale.
The Dutchman gets down to 40 and after putting two over the bar, lands it for a hold of throw.
Clean sweep avoided.
Price 5-0 Van Gerwen

This is looking really good from the Iceman.
Price 5-0 Van Gerwen
Needing to win six out of seven legs from here to win this semi-final, Michael van Gerwen fires in a 180 but hardly celebrates.
Two visits later, Gerwyn Price lands one of his own to set up 143.
Trebles 20 and 17 go, but the double 16 attempt is just short.
On his return, the Iceman is cool at double eight for a 5-0 lead.
Price 4-0 Van Gerwen
Brilliant from Gerwyn Price!
Against the throw, he goes 180, 147 to set up three darts at double 20.
Price misses the 20s and 10s, but on double five breaks Michael van Gerwen again for a 4-0 lead.
Very one-sided.
Price 3-0 Van Gerwen
At 128, Gerwyn Price has the chance to go 3-0 up against Michael van Gerwen.
78 are found from the first two darts.
He pauses and hits bullseye! "COME ON" is the response to a mooted Nottingham crowd.
Price 2-0 Van Gerwen

It is errors again from Michael van Gerwen.
We can be very harsh on him because of the levels he's reached before but he'll be harsh on himself too.
Price 2-0 Van Gerwen
Michael van Gerwen has won five of his six quarter-finals in the Premier League this season, but none of his semi-finals. Will this end the streak?
Needing 90, he goes 18 and attempts the double-double there, but it does not land.
A missed double six from Gerwyn Price gives him a reprieve, but Mighty Mike then misses twice at double 20.
Price comes backs for the sixes and a break of throw.
Price 1-0 Van Gerwen

Gerwyn Price has given it some tonight. That is a nice hold of throw.
Price 1-0 Van Gerwen
A good start from Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen, who exchange two-treble visits.
On his throw, Price takes out 87 with one dart at bull.
Cue the "Come on" celebrations. He leads 1-0.
Price v Van Gerwen
Both Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen will end the night in the top four, but the winner of this semi-final will be third. This bonus point up for grabs is crucial.
Price to throw first, game on!
Price v Van Gerwen
After Luke Littler's heroics, he gets to watch on to see who out of Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwyn the teenager will face in the final in Nottingham.
Result: Littler 6-3 Cross
Let's take a look at the numbers from that match.
Luke Littler averaged 107.82, hit six 180s, landed three checkouts about 120.
Going into the final leg, Littler had a perfect double rate, but missed four doubles before taking the match. He still finished with six out of 10 doubles hit.
Meanwhile, Cross averaged 103.88 and had a 75% doubles success rate from four attempts. Hardly a bad display.
Result: Littler 6-3 Cross

What an unbelievable display from Luke Littler.
Rob Cross averaged 104 but he couldn't get anywhere near Littler in the end.
Result: Littler 6-3 Cross
Image source, Getty ImagesThe ridiculous nature of the past couple of legs seems to have taken the stuffing out of Rob Cross, as does Luke Littler's sixth 180 of the match.
At 121, Littler almost takes his fourth 100+ out but puts the bull dart into 25.
Coming back for the rest, Littler misses two at double 10, but will get at least three more darts to see off 20.
One more miss precedes a pinned double and a match victory.
Cross knows in probably 99% of matches, his performance would win him that, and comfortably so.
Littler 5-3 Cross

This is just an absolute blitz from Luke Littler. Just sit back and enjoy it. He is a sporting superstar.
Littler 5-3 Cross
A word on Rob Cross, who is actually playing very well in this match.
It is worth stressing that, just as Luke Littler breaks throw with an 85 out.
The Nuke takes out double five to break throw and lead 5-3.
