The 17-year-old has propelled himself up the Premier League table with a big win
Luke Littler has thanked his girlfriend after he picked up his first nightly win in the Premier League on Thursday.
The teenager has moved up to second in the table and is now well placed to qualify for the play-offs at London’s O2 Arena.
He then overcame seven-time winner Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final and has leapfrogged the Dutchman in the table.
Littler faced stablemate Nathan Aspinall in the final and quickly found himself trailing 3-1.
But he bounced back in fine style to win 6-4 and pick up another five points in his maiden Premier League campaign.
Littler has been dating 22-year-old Eloise Milburn since before he burst onto the scene at the World Darts Championship last December.
Milburn, a keen darts player herself, often attends her boyfriend’s matches but watched on from home on Thursday.
Reacting after the final, she posted on her Instagram story: “Told you that win was coming! I’m so proud of you.”
Littler reposted the post onto his story and responded: “Your support is always there” with a red heart emoji.
Milburn also commented on Littler’s Instagram post, writing: “Knew it was coming! Amazing!”
