DARTS fans hailed the “best match ever” after Luke Littler beat Luke Humphries 6-3 in a blur of FOURTEEN 180s.
Littler averaged 116 and Humphries 110 in their Premier League Night 15 opener.

And commentator Wayne Mardle exclaimed “even they’re finding it funny” – as the world’s two finest players left viewers awed.
Humphries wore the biggest smile of all – when he fell victim to the most brutal leg of all.
The pair were level at 3-3 when they whipped Mardle into frenzy by trading three 180s… before Littler checked out on 144 and grinned broadly too.
The Sky Sports pundit raved: “Are you’re kidding me! Are you’re kidding me! This is ridiculous. This is an absolute joke. Even they are finding it funny!”
Poor Humphries outscored the Nuke by nine maximums to five – but still lost.
Incredibly, Littler then crashed OUT in the semi-final.
Trailing 5-3 against Chris Dobey he levelled at 5-5 but slumped in the decider.
However, the Nuke and Humphries were long ago assured a place in the Prem playoff finals at the O2 Arena in London on May 23.
And one fan responded to their quarter-final classic by insisting: “Has to be the highest level this sport has ever seen.”
Another posted: “That wasn’t darts, that was pure theatre! Littler vs Humphries gave us a modern classic.”

And with the pair teaming up next month for England, some fans made points like: “World cup gonna be hilarious. Whitewash every game.”
