LUKE LITTLER confronted booing fans after a “distasteful” play at the World Darts Championship. Littler, 17, stormed his way to the quarter-finals with a 4-1 win over Ian White on Saturday evening. The teen sensation set up a Monday battle against Ryan Joyce with a 97.84 average.

And his TWELVE 180s left the Ally Pally crowd on the edge of their seats yet again. Littler even trolled his emotional second-round celebration by pretending to cry in front of his family. However, a bizarre moment occurred midway through his win over White when fans began to boo.

Littler, who was 2-1 up in sets but trailing 1-0 in the third, set up a 130 checkout while White was still languishing on 243. The youngster hit a 20 and T20 to leave the Bullseye. And supporters were eager to see Littler complete the move by hitting the central target.
However, the ace opted to go for the 10 instead, handing White another go but leaving himself with a much easier D20 for the leg. This did not go down well with some fans, who started jeering last year’s finalist. Littler responded by staring at several of the boo boys before raising his head up and down several times.
