00:01Johnny Clayton produced a commanding display in Glasgow to claim night three of the Premier League
00:06darts season, brushing aside Jean Van Veyn in a one-sided final and continuing his impressive
00:12return to the competition. Back in the tournament, after a two-year absence, Clayton showed both
00:19power scoring and ruthless finishing on his way to a 6-2 victory. The Welshman had already been
00:25made a statement earlier in the evening by ending a long losing run against compatriot
00:30Gerwin Price before dismantling world champion Luke Littler in the semi-finals.
00:37Clayton's scoring remained strong throughout the night, but it was his clinical finishing that
00:41proved decisive. After breaking Jean Van Veyn early, he controlled the contest and sealed the title
00:46with a stunning 1-5-6 checkout that underlined his confidence and form. While Clayton celebrated,
00:52questions remain about some of the tournament favourites. Littler has collected points but is
00:58still searching for momentum and defending champion Luke Humphries again fell just short,
01:04despite showing flashes of his usual quality. Even though the season is only beginning to take
01:11shape with more nights ahead and the race building toward the playoffs at the 0-2, momentum can shift
01:18quickly. Next up, the Roadshow heads to Belfast where the pressure and the noise will only increase.
