VIDEO. Comeback kid Luke Littler wins Premier League night in Liverpool and scolds booers with a striking hand gesture

Littler (PDC 26) did not make himself too popular with the Liverpool fans when he arrived. The 17-year-old Briton is a true fan of the football club Manchester United, Liverpool’s arch-rival. The Reds lost 2-0 in the city derby to Everton and saw their title chances go up in smoke. Something Littler gratefully took advantage of to deflect the boos from the Liverpool fans. He didn’t let it get to him and won his quarter-final 6-3 against Gerwin Price.
