However, in the first leg of the fourth set of the match, Littler took an unusual route to checkout.

The Nuke needed 70 to win the leg.

And to do so, Littler went for the bullseye before hitting a double 10.

Seeing this strange pathway, Sky commentator John Part said: “What a slap that is in the face of Michael van Gerwen?”

Co-commentator Dan Dawson then said: “Is he rubbing Van Gerwen’s nose in it?”
