He is on the verge of completing a clean sweep of all PDC ranked titles by winning the European Championship.
Despite Humphries outperforming Littler with a higher average of 105.51 and leading 5-4 in the match, Littler’s determination and resilience allowed him to stage a comeback and secure the victory.
