Luke Littler Branded 'Out of Order' After Interaction During Darts Match Goes Viral

On Thursday, 18-year-old Luke Littler suffered a 6-5 quarter-final defeat to Gian van Veen in Manchester, ending his bid for a third consecutive Premier League Darts victory.
Van Veen raced into a 4-1 lead before Littler leveled at 5-5, though missed doubles later sparked a heated exchange of words and intense stares between the pair.
Appealing to the partisan crowd after a missed dart, Littler gestured for support, which prompted jeers directed at the Dutchman.
Social media users slammed the behavior, with one fan admitting, "Littler hasn't covered himself in any glory at all there, behaved like a complete muppet," while others suggested the PDC should address his conduct.
The semi-finals will feature Van Veen, who advanced after the win to face the Northern Irishman Josh Rock after he dispatched Jonny Clayton 6-4.
