Nathan Aspinall recovered from 4-1 down to beat Luke Humphries in the semi-finals
Nathan Aspinall beat Michael Smith 6-4 in the final to win night 12 of Premier League darts in Rotterdam.
Aspinall showed his fighting qualities for a comeback semi-final triumph over world champion Luke Humphries.
And he maintained the momentum against Smith to claim his second night victory and move above Michael van Gerwen into third place in the table.
Humphries returned to the top on a night where players complained of breezy conditions in the big arena.
Stockport thrower Aspinall won five consecutive legs to overcome Humphries 6-4 in the semi-finals on his way to a second success of the campaign after victory in Exeter on night five.
The 2023 world champion Smith won a last-leg decider against Gerwyn Price to reach the final.
