Michael van Gerwen was knocked out of the Premier League after failing in his win-or-bust mission in Sheffield as record-breaking Luke Littler won a sixth night.

The seven-time champion has had a miserable campaign and came into the final weekly night in the Steel City having to win to stay in contention for the play-offs.
