The 17-year-old has made it back-to-backs wins following his victory in Manchester

Luke Littler has made it back-to-back Premier League wins following his victory over Gerwyn Price in Manchester on Thursday night.

And the teenager has now shown off his growing trophy cabinet after continuing his stunning form.


Littler went into Thursday night's event on a high after his victory in Belfast last week.

The teenager was able to overcome Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals before proceeding to beat Nathan Aspinall.

Littler then dispatched Price in the final to boost his chances of qualifying for the play-offs, which take place next month.

And the 17-year-old has taken to Instagram to show off his growing collection of trophies.

Writing on his story he shared a snap of his haul while accompanying the post with a message that read: "Looks good to me."

Littler has also been sharing messages from his fans.

And girlfriend Eloise Milburn, 22, also took to social media to hail her other half.

"TOP OF THE TABLE," she wrote.

"Couldn't be prouder. Back to back wins."

Littler initially struggled while competing in the Premier League.

But with consecutive victories to his name he's now one point clear of Luke Humphries at the top of the standings.

Reflecting on his win, Littler 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."

Littler also responded to recent comments made by Van Gerwen, who has stoked their rivalry in the process.

The Dutchman, speaking to Viaplay last week, said Littler hadn't looked 'comfortable' when beating him at times.

"I can see he's not comfortable and then I'm just too preoccupied with him instead of concentrating on my own game," he said after losing in Belfast.

"But there was still more in it. I have now played Luke six times, three of which I lost and three of which I won.

"Every time he won against me it was not convincing, while he does against other players.

"I just have to take advantage of that, which is still a downside that it didn't work out tonight."

However, Littler has disputed those claims by saying: "We all know he's not playing to his best ability and certainly I didn't against him.

"But the scrappier games are the better ones to win, just drag yourself over the line.

"But every time I've beaten Michael it's been pretty comfortable, 6-2 or 6-3. When he's beaten me we've had to go to a last leg.

"But yeah we know he's not playing well and just glad to the better of him when he's playing bad."
