Luke Littler stunned a darts audience with his ‘top s**thousery’

But Littler was unable to conquer Van Gerwen as the Dutchman won 11-7 for his first televised title in two years.
Van Gerwen had the locals on side as the Amsterdam battle raged on throughout the evening.
And Littler received plenty of stick as he tried to get the better of his opponent.
But at one stage of the match, the English teen wonder decided to get his own back.
With Van Gerwen leading 6-3, Littler opened the door to win a fourth leg with a points tally of 20.
It meant he needed to hit a D10 to checkout successfully, knowing that failure to hit the target would likely see Van Gerwen take the leg with a D9.
The Dutch crowd certainly seemed to smell blood and began jeering Littler loudly.
Yet as they whistled, Littler played a trump card to calm his nerves and simultaneously wind up the boo boys.

The youngster went over to his table for a drink of water as he prepared for his massive throw.
But instead of a quick gulp before diving back into the action, Littler instead swished the water around the glass while looking intently at it.
As the boos grew louder, Littler continued playing with his cup before having another slurp.
When he was finally ready, the reigning world champ collected his arrows before returning to the oche.
And Littler made sure he followed up his taunt by hitting the D10 with his first dart.
He then whirled around to face the crowd before pumping his arms and cheering in delight.
Fans were quick to sing Littler’s praises online.
One said: “This was superb, royally took the p**s while the crowd were booing him to f**k and goes and does that. Whistle on that, top s***housery.”
Another declared: “Darts needs more characters like Littler, a bit of crowd s**thousery goes a long way.”
One noted: “Shouldn’t be Luke’s job to silence the audience, that’s what officials are for.”
Another added: “Crowd jeering loudly on his doubles, classy.”
