LUKE LITTLER retained the Grand Slam of Darts title in stunning fashion – but only after giving Luke Humphries a look which has gone viral.
The 18-year-old sealed a 16-11 win and pocketed the £150,000 prize money by clinching the Eric Bristow Trophy in Wolverhampton.
It came after Littler became the youngest world No1 a matter of hours earlier.
But the champion sent social media into overdrive after nailing a huge checkout of 160 when title rival Humphries should have already put the 20th leg to bed.
Littler hit two triple 20s and a double 20 before roaring with delight and smirking at Humphries when he clearly couldn’t believe his opponent’s mistake at the oche.
It proved to be a pivotal moment in the contest, with the Warrington teenager going on to win another five legs to seal glory.

Another said: “New LL meme just dropped.”
One noted: “Humphries was fuming too until he saw the cheeky face from Littler and broke.”

Littler notched outstanding checkouts of 167 and 160 en route to Grand Slam of Darts glory.
The victory came after comfortably beating Danny Noppert 16-9 to reach the final and confirm his elevation to the top of the world rankings.
Littler said: “I’ve got to say it was a tough job getting up this morning.
“No-one likes playing in the afternoon. But you have got to get through those games. Once I got over the line, I knew I was No1.
“I focused on the final. I said to him, it was a weird, weird game. But I am glad to win, back-to-back.
“It was always going to be close. Phil Taylor used to say, do the hard work and then relax going into the final.”
But Humphries vowed to gain revenge by getting his hands on the PDC World Darts Championship.
He said: “That’s three finals on the trot I’ve lost.
“I’m ready for the Worlds. I’m going to win the Worlds. He can have world No1 for seven weeks.

“I’m playing good. Tiredness crept in. We are going to go to war, the world championship, me and him in the final. We will see who is world No1 there.
“He deserves everything he gets. He has been a massive advocate for darts.”
