WARRINGTON’S Luke Littler has comfortably secured his place in the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship.
He beat Nathan Aspinall 5-2 to reach the last four, despite his rival battling hard.
Littler’s face was a picture of relief as he victoriously punched his fist after grabbing the match tonight.
He’s now just two matches away from becoming the world’s youngest darts champion ever.
