Luke Littler emerged victorious over Rob Cross in a thrilling match to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the PDC World Darts Championship. Despite facing a hostile crowd at the Ally Pally, Littler, the defending champion, managed to outplay Cross with a 4-2 win.
After the match, Littler expressed his frustration towards the audience for booing him during the game and even during his post-match interview with Sky Sports. In a bold statement, Littler addressed the crowd, acknowledging that they contribute to his prize money but criticizing their unsportsmanlike behavior.
Fans took to social media to discuss Littler’s performance and comments, with some labeling his reaction as “rattled” and “classless,” while others supported his “heel turn” persona. Sky Sports pundit Wayne Mardle commented on the interview, describing it as peculiar and noting Littler’s ability to perform under pressure.
Mardle praised Cross for his resilience despite lacking form and commended Littler for his exceptional skills and unwavering performance on the darts board. As the competition intensifies, Littler continues to showcase his dominance and skill, leaving opponents feeling uncertain in his presence.
