Luke Littler BEATS Rob Cross in the quarter-final of the Premier League Darts

LUKE LITTLER narrowly defeated Rob Cross to reach the semi-finals of Premier League Night Two.

Littler breathed a sigh of relief after completing his victory

He then missed a finish in Shanghai to break as Cross leveled up at 1–1, but bounced back by hitting the bullseye to win the third leg.

Littler, 17, then closed his first break of the match with a 12-darter, which ultimately resulted in The Nuke taking out double 16.

However, Cross showed he had no walkover by breaking back at the first time of asking the question before holding the throw to restore parity at 3-3.

The pair then held a roll each, with Cross securing a 144 finish in style before Littler took the lead 5-4 after hitting his favorite double 10.

Cross leveled the match again despite missing three doubles attempts, leaving a deciding leg.

Littler had the throw and was in control the entire leg. Even a dart falling from the board didn't stop him as he hit double 15 on his first attempt to reach the semi-finals.

Cross fought but was undone again by Littler after losing to the Warrington prodigy at the World Darts Championship last month.

Littler wasn't quite at his sparkling best but still averaged 104 to see an exciting match.
