Littler flew into a 3-0 lead over Welshman Price, who was fresh off the back of a 6-3 win over Michael Smith that included a nine-darter.

Price then managed to finally get on the scoresheet in the fourth leg by hitting a double 12.

But Littler, 17, bounced back to make the score 4-1.

Price was determined not to lose more ground in the Premier League table and came back swinging to claim the sixth leg and make it 4-2.

They both hit back again to make it 5-3.

Littler then hit the match winner to secure his second Prem win.

However, he admitted immediately after the match he was gutted after seeing his beloved Red Devils throw away a 3-2 lead late on against Chelsea – which was itself a thrilling game of football.

He said: “I’m glad I won, I just saw United concede two in two minutes. I am glad to win.

“I have settled into it. The first 5-6 weeks I won the first game and then lost and lost. But winning last week gave me so much confidence coming to Manchester.

“I saw he was 4-0 up, averaging 123, I was like: ‘Stop it, stop it Gezzy.’ But I then focused and practiced, I left it until the end.

“I go whatever way I feel on the board. If I am comfortable, I will try to go for it.

“Tonight, we did all our own thing. Last week the practice paid off. Same as tonight. It has paid off.

“There are 6-7 weeks to go, I have to plug away, get 2-3 points each week, and I am sure I will make the play-offs. The crowd have been amazing.

Littler had beaten Michael van Gerwen 6-3 in his first game on the night.

However, Van Gerwen’s decision to throw an unorthodox route for a 136 checkout baffled the commentary team.

He then beat mate Nathan Aspinall in the semi-final, though fans loved a little dance the pair had done before the game.
