Luke Littler nails 180 to beat Harry Maguire’s impressive nine-dart score as teenager meets Manchester United heroes
Luke Littler sent Manchester United players into a frenzy as he swatted aside Harry Maguire and Christian Eriksen with a perfect 180.
The darts sensation, who only turned 17 last weekend, took part in a darts challenge with Maguire and Eriksen and unsurprisingly made light work of them.

But the manner in which he did it was very classy indeed as he needed just three darts to out do the impressive nine-dart totals from Maguire (171) and Eriksen (136), throwing three treble 20s to achieve a maximum score.
Littler threw plenty of 180s when he burst onto the scene at the PDC World Darts Championship, but the Man United players, including Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount, and staff were very impressed with what they saw as they cheered loudly once Littler's victory was confirmed.

Shortly after the 2-2 draw, Littler put his Worlds heartache, having lost in the final to Luke Humphries, to one side as he won the Bahrain Masters last week.
His next match is on Friday at the Dutch Darts Masters which concludes on Saturday in a tournament that will see him compete with Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Nathan Aspinall, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross and Peter Wright.
Littler's heroics at Alexandra Palace, which saw him pocket £200,000, earnt him a spot in Premier League Darts and his first appearance sees him rematch Humphries on the opening night in Cardiff on Thursday.
