Littler clinches last two sets to triumph 6-5Teenager beat Cross and Van Gerwen en route
Luke Littler said the referee Kirk Bevins did him no favours when he tried to quell the Glasgow crowd as he battled to a 6-5 win over Luke Humphries on night two of the Premier League.
The 18-year-old could not shrug off the world No 1 who came back four times at the OVO Hydro to make it 4-4 before before winning the ninth set, but Littler recovered to take the final two sets. However, Bevins’ intervention over the microphone to stop the whistling and jeering initially aimed at Humphries, it seemed, only added to the disruption and afterwards Littler admitted his frustration.
