Week 13 winner Luke Littler, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm just happy with the way I played in front of this lovely bunch of people. I just wanted to come here and play well.

"It's been looking tight [for the play-off places] the last few weeks but I'm glad to win and be clear of it.

"I'm happy to push myself away from the other people but I know it's going to be tight for the other bunch."

On aiming to clinch top spot: "That's what I can look onto now. There are only three weeks left and maybe I can top the table."

On semi-final win over Nathan Aspinall: "I went 5-2 down and in my head, I was like 'I'm not bothered', I just threw my darts with freedom. Won a few legs and came out the winner."

On engaging with the crowd: "I knew what was coming this week and I was building up to it.

"I always engage with the crowd and the semi-final I was playing with complete freedom.

"I just felt comfortable tonight. I knew what was coming and I was glad to win."
