LUKE LITTLER created history yet again after reeling off SIX legs in succession to maul Michael van Gerwen.
The teen sensation crushed the Dutch star 6-1 in the quarter-finals of the Czech Darts Open in Prague.
Littler hit six 180s and MVG’s 112.19 average was the biggest losing total in the history of the PDC European Tour.
It was a game of unbelievable quality with the players trading 11 maximums and Littler delivered a third successive average in excess of 110.
He said: “The first leg was very slow, Michael obviously won that leg. But after it I just switched the gears and I’ve done another 110-plus average.
“I had to pick my shots everything I could because I know Michael was right behind me.
“If I had finished it he would have punished me. I think that’s the most (180s) I’ve ever been involved with. People can obviously check my past games. I think that was the most.”
Commentator Dan Dawson admitted: “This is one of the best Euro tournaments anyone has ever produced.”
Fans were also left in awe at Littler’s display, although he went on to lose to eventual champion Luke Humphries in the semis.
One reacted saying: “I can’t even bring myself to take the p*** out of that 112.19 average and getting absolutely battered. Luke Littler is an absolute freak of nature.”

And a third wrote: “This is why we can’t stop talking about Luke Littler. Generational. Thank you Michael and Luke, this is darts!”

He captioned the post: “This is not gonna happen again. Fantastic game by @LukeTheNuke180 what a talent. All the best.”
FOUR people are dead in a horror helicopter crash with the chopper smashing into a Houston radio tower and dropping from the sky.
Footage caught by local Texans shows the craft flying along, hitting the high tower, erupting into flames, and plunging to the ground.
The chopper, a R44, exploded when it hit the ground with a large fireball shooting into the air.
Tragically, one of the victims was a child, according to local police.
CCTV footage from a local’s home shows the chopper hit the tower at 7.51pm, with officials saying it had taken off from Ellington Field.
Manuel Arciniega, who was in the area when the crash happened, said: “I just saw the cell tower crumbling down.”
The Houston Fire Department says the helicopter hit a radio tower in the Second Ward shortly before 8pm, Fox26 reported.
The tower was also destroyed, but no nearby homes were damaged, according to the Houston Fire Department.
The identities of those on board has not yet been released.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire said: “We are fortunate that it wasn’t worse, just in terms that there was a butane tank, a gas tank, near the crash scene.”
The FAA, NTSB and DPS will investigate the crash over the course of the next several days.

LIAM Payne’s girlfriend has been seen for the first time since the singer fell to his death.
Kate Cassidy, 25, looked distraught as she was spotted shopping in Wellington, Florida, with pals.
She was snapped without makeup and wearing joggers, Christian Dior sandals and an oversized T-shirt as the group left Jake’s pet supplies.
The 31-year-old former One Direction bandmate tragically died on Wednesday afternoon.
His cause of death was multiple injuries after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Kate had been on holiday with him in the South American country but returned home to the US two days earlier.
The images of her were taken just hours after the news of Liam’s death broke.
It comes as:
On Friday, Kate took to her Instagram where she said she was at “a complete loss”.
She wrote: “Nothing about the past few days have felt real.
“I ask and pray that you’ll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private.
“Liam, my angel. You are everything.
“I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam.”
The couple had flown out to Argentina to watch Liam’s One Direction pal Niall Horan perform in the country and, while out there, extended their stay.
After two weeks away the American actress revealed she was ready to leave and decided to head home.
She explained on TikTok: “Honestly, love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long. And we were supposed to be there for, like, five days, turned into two weeks.

“Wish you well, Kate! I know it’s hard but stay strong! We’re trying over here too.”
A second said: “People saying that he was happy in those pics prove that social media are so fake.”
On Wednesday night, it was confirmed to The Sun that Liam has died.
The singer-songwriter was staying at Hotel CasaSur in the neighbourhood of Palermo in Argentina.
Witnesses said Liam smashed his laptop and had to be carried back to his room following an erratic incident earlier in the day, TMZ reports.
His death was confirmed as soon as ambulance crews arrived.
Cops discovered “what appeared to be narcotics, alcohol, destroyed objects and furniture” in his room.
Photos published by Argentine media showed white powder, burnt aluminium foil and a smashed TV screen inside his suite.
Forensic teams reported that a whiskey bottle, lighter and mobile phone were retrieved from the building’s internal courtyard where Liam’s body was found.
But cops are yet to confirm what the substances found in the room are and are due to run tests on them shortly.
The singer had been open about his battles with addiction in the past.
