‘Talk about a pub score’ – Luke Littler has fans saying ‘maybe I have a chance’ after scoring just ELEVEN in three darts
Luke Littler’s “Pub Player” Moment Stuns Fans in Cardiff
Luke Littler had an uncharacteristically disastrous visit to the oche during Thursday’s Premier League Darts in Cardiff, briefly turning into what fans jokingly called a “pub player.”
The World Champion faced off against friend Nathan Aspinall in the quarter-finals of Night Seven, but in the seventh leg, Littler produced a truly shocking score of just 11. Two darts landed in the five, while a third missed completely, hitting a one.
As ironic cheers echoed around the Utilita Arena, Littler laughed in disbelief, acknowledging the moment with the crowd.
Fans React to Littler’s Blunder
Supporters watching from home couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed, taking to social media to share their amusement.
- “Just looked up and Littler is on 490. Talk about a pub score.”
- “Luke Littler scoring 11, maybe I stand a chance.”
- “One of us. One of us.”
However, Littler quickly bounced back, proving exactly why he is World No. 2. On his very next turn, he slammed in a 180, effortlessly regaining his rhythm.
- “Luke Littler scores 11, takes the p*** out of himself, and then throws a 180. The kid is a JOKE!!”
- “Littler hits 11 and comes back with a 180. I’d hit 11 and follow it up with another 11.”
- “Followed by 180… normal service resumed.”
Littler Secures Victory Despite Early Setback
After following up his 180 with 140 and 100, Littler found himself in prime position to close out the leg. However, some wild finishing allowed Aspinall to steal it with an 88 checkout.
That was Aspinall’s last leg of the match, as Littler stormed to a 6-3 victory, setting up a semi-final clash with Rob Cross.
Despite the brief stumble, Littler’s dominance continues, solidifying his status as the hottest player in darts right now.
