Fan favourite Bunting was introduced first, with the crowd serenading him with his Titanium walk-on song.

Littler, 18, was up next.

As he was introduced fans started to boo the world champion.

Littler responded by pointing his finger to his ear.

But he had a two-stage response once he got to the oche.

The Nuke kicked off the first leg by landing a 180 with his first three darts, before looking to the side and nodding his head.

Things got a bit silly for Littler after his impressive start as he got down to a double two.

However, he eventually landed his checkout and looked at his watch at the end of the leg.

Littler continued his dominance against Bunting as the match went on.

And the match ended up seeing Littler whitewash The Bullet 6-0 inside ten minutes.

It was the first whitewash since 2023, with Littler hitting 50 per cent on the doubles.

Bunting himself threw an impressive average of 102, but it was no match for the crazy 110 average put up by the World No2.

He threw five 180s in the game to take his tally for the 2025 Premier League season to 97.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: “I can’t believe I’m blessed to watch this man throw darts.”

A second said: “Stupid level of darts, it’s almost comedy.”

A third added: “Phil Taylor would be Luke Littler’s boot boy. He’s that good. The best to ever play the game by a MILE.”

Another said: “Kid is an absolute joke.”

A fifth said: “This man is too good.”
