"I've been given a game these last two days," Littler told ITV post-match. "As soon as I got that two leg gap I was settled. He played well, but I played well as well. "Overall it was a good game. Making it 5-5 was the big moment, going into that break."
Littler impressed again in the stats with a 101 average and 47% checkout rate. He is now the favourite for the title after Michael van Gerwen's shock exit to Mensur Suljovic on Friday evening.
