Luke Littler celebrated his narrow 6-5 win over Nathan Aspinall by giving it back to the Aberdeen crowd on Night 14 of the Premier League Darts.
Despite a nery finish after English opponent Aspinall had fought back from 5-3 down to pass up a chance to steal the win from unde Littler's nose, the 17-year-old held his nerve to seal his place in the night's semi final. The Aberdeen crowd had been sticking it on the Nuke throughout the game, as the teenage sensation squandered opportunities to wrap the match up early.
Littler had responded to the crowd's taunts with a knowing clap minutes earlier his finish, and after finally putting Aspinall to bed with a double 10, wasted no time in erupting at Granite City punters. Holding his finger to his mouth, Littler immediately turned and told the noisy crowd to shut up, with the frustration of having been taken to a decider visible on his face.
The diehard Manchester United fan will now take on Michael Smith for a place in Thursday night's final. Smith booked his place in the last four of Night 14 with an impressive 6-4 win against Scottish hero Peter Wright, much to the disappointment of the home crowd.
