16-year-old darts sensation Luke Littler produced another stunning display to reach the World Darts Championship final.
The teenager from Warrington beat 2018 winner Rob Cross 6-2 to continue his fairytale run at Alexandra Palace and move within one victory of becoming the youngest world champion in darts history.
Littler, the youngest-ever player to reach the decider of the premier darts tournament, will face either Luke Humphries or Scott Williams in tomorrow’s final.
Asked on Sky Sports how he will prepare for the final tomorrow, Littler replied: “I’ll do what I’ve been doing. In the morning, I’ll go for my ham and cheese omelette, come in here, have my pizza, that’s what I’ve been doing every day.”
