Luke Littler responded assertively to a chorus of boos during his UK Open victory over Peter Wright, leaving no room for ambiguity.
The darts world champion secured a 10-9 victory against Wright in a tense second-stage match, but faced a hostile reception from the crowd at times. Wright mounted two remarkable comebacks, pushing the 18-year-old to his limits. At one point, the crowd’s booing prompted Littler to wag his finger in their direction, mouthing the words, “Not a chance,” clearly expressing his displeasure.
