Manchester United fan Luke Littler had the last laugh after being booed at the Premier League Darts in Liverpool.
The 17-year-old is a fan favourite across the UK after bursting onto the scene at the World Darts Championship, but was jeered by the 8,500-capacity crowd due to his football loyalties on Thursday night (25 April).
He played up to it though, cupping his hands to his ears and signalling 2-0 to the crowd ahead of his quarter-final win against Gerwyn Price.
Littler was referencing Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat at Everton the night before.
He went on to beat Rob Cross 6-2 in the final to go back to the top of the Premier League table.
