Luke Littler gives classy three-word response when asked what was best about rampant Premier League darts semi-final win
LUKE LITTLER gave a classy response when asked to choose what the best thing was about booking his place in the Premier League Darts final.
Luke The Nuke breezed past Michael Smith 10-5 to earn his spot in the final pairing tonight.
Following the superb win, Littler was asked by Sky Sports what was the best thing about the special moment for the teenager.
And with a smart head on his young shoulders, he replied with three world, saying: “All of it”.
He went on to add: “Coming into tonight, I knew I had the darts. I wanted to go into the break, get a decent lead, which I did and then become back out and win it.
“You have to take out the big shots, especially when someone is on a finish.
“I am glad I took my chances. I am enjoying it. I came here a few hours ago and the practice has paid off.”
The 17-year-old sensation looked more like a seasoned pro than a rookie play-off debutant as he blitzed Bully Boy.
The bright lights and record crowd of a rowdy O2 Arena did nothing to stop the Nuke repeatedly fire his darts into place with pin point precision.
An incredible 144 checkout in the third leg was the cherry on top of an astonishing average of over 100 throughout the match.

While the only time the youngster looked to be nervous was during a bizarre ninth round that saw him and Smith miss dart after dart before Littler checked out with a double two.
Littler will now take on Luke Humphries in the London final later tonight in a repeat of the match that led to heartbreak during the Ally Pally World Championship final earlier this year.
The clash will make darts history as the two Lukes become the first pair to play in an all-debutant Premier League Darts final.
