Luke Littler loses to Ritchie Edhouse at Players Championship event in Leicester

Ritchie Edhouse dumped world champion Luke Littler out of Players Championship 12 in a dramatic last-16 finish.

The Englishman beat his 18-year-old compatriot 6-5 in a tense conclusion to the deciding leg at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester to book a quarter-final showdown with Dutchman Gian van Veen.

Littler hit double five rather than double top as he attempted a 120 check-out to leave world number 26 Edhouse a tops finish, and he duly obliged with his first dart to progress.
