Luke Littler reveals the ‘crazy’ thing that happened to his opponent Nathan Aspinall following their match in the Premier League Darts on Thursday evening.
Littler, 18, put in a convincing performance at night five of the Premier League Darts in Brighton, beating Aspinall 6-3 in the night’s final.
The victory saw the teenager cut the gap to Luke Humphries at the top of the table to just two points, with the pair set to play each other next week in Nottingham.
Humphries, 30, was beaten 6-4 by Rob Cross despite ‘Cool Hand’ hitting the first Premier League nine-darter of 2025 in his quarter-final clash.

Cross, 34, then faced Aspinall, 33, with the younger of the pair coming away with a narrow 6-5 victory before he lost to Littler in the final.
Littler was clearly pleased with his performance, although he was quick to call out some alleged ‘crazy’ behaviour from a fan.
It was claimed that Aspinall was struck by a pint that appeared to have been thrown from the crowd as he made his way to the stage.

"I think there was a pint thrown at Nathan as soon as he came up on the stage – crazy,” said Littler when speaking in a press conference.
"I think we all know some have been good, some have been a bit bad,” he added.
"But that is the darts fans for you, they are either good or they are either bad."
This is not the first time that fan behaviour at darts events has been under scrutiny.

In February, Littler was subject to relentless whistling and booing from the crowd in Glasgow, which led to the PDC releasing a statement.
“Following Thursday's Premier League Darts night in Glasgow, the PDC wishes to strongly reiterate that it does not condone any behaviour which can disrupt an event, such as whistling or booing when players are throwing,” read the statement.
“Every player goes on stage with the intention of performing to the best of their ability and providing an entertaining spectacle for all fans, whether in the venue or watching worldwide.
"As per the terms and conditions of entry to events, spectators who act inappropriately can be removed from the venue.

“The PDC works closely with Premier League venues, who have responsibility for crowd control, to take proactive and decisive action against those who behave inappropriately.”
