World Darts Championship LIVE: Semi-final results after Luke Littler beats Rob Cross to set up final with Luke Humphries

PA
Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler celebrates historic semi-final world champion win

Teenage star Luke Littler is one win away from completing his sensational World Darts Championship dream as he cruised into the final.

The 16-year-old has set the Alexandra Palace alight over the last fortnight and is the youngest-ever player to reach the decider of the premier darts tournament.

The 16-year-old Littler eased past Brendan Dolan to reach the final four and has now defeated former World Champion Rob Cross for a place in Wednesday’s final. Cross - who won the tournament back in 2018 on debut - booked his place in the semi-finals after a miraculous display on Monday, fighting back from 4-0 down to defeat the in-form Chris Dobey 5-4. But he had no chance of a comeback this time as he went down 6-2.

In the other semi-final, pre-tournament favourite Luke Humphries hammered Scott Williams and will meet Littler in the final. Humphries reached this stage after a comprehensive win over Dave Chisnall, while Williams produced one of the shocks of the tournament to defeat three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals - but couldn’t repeat the feat, losing 6-0 in the semis.
