‘Never seen him like that before..' – Luke Littler needs to deal with crowd abuse after Man Utd fan's Liverpool meltdown
LUKE LITTLER has to learn to deal with crowd abuse after his defeat to Michael van Gerwen in Liverpool. Former UK Open finalist Vincent van der Voort believes the teen sensation must cope with the boos following a rare outburst a week ago. 2 2 World champion Littler, 18, reacted angrily to sections of the crowd after his 6-5 loss at the M&S Bank Arena. 'The Nuke', who is a Manchester United fan, stormed into a 4-0 lead against Van Gerwen on Merseyside. But the seven-time Premier League winner mounted a dramatic comeback after he won six of the next seven legs to secure victory. The Liverpool crowd grew louder as momentum shifted and Littler was visibly frustrated as the match slipped away. Former professional Van der Voort believes the behaviour was out of character for the teen sensation. He said on the Darts Draait podcast: 'Sure, you can provoke the crowd, but you have to be able to take it when it comes back at you. 'He's still young and needs to learn how to deal with this. 'You don't need to provoke or respond to the crowd. I've never seen him like that before—he usually comes across as so calm, like nothing fazes him. This was a completely different side.' The Dutchman concluded by highlighting how such reactions can encourage more provocation from the stands. He added: 'For the guy in the crowd, this was probably the highlight of his night. Luke Littler lands new role as darts star teams up with Deliveroo to find the best kebab in the country 'Imagine you're a Liverpool fan and you managed to get under Littler's skin. He was up 4-0 and still lost 6-5. That's a dream scenario for them.' It's been revealed that Littler earns an astonishing £5,833 per week on average playing in the Premier League. He has played the most matches in the tournament this season, racking up 26 matches in 12 weeks, earning £70,000 in the process. Research by BetUK reveals Littler earns £2,692 per match and £288 per leg based on prize money alone. Five-time major winner Littler has four weekly wins and one nine-darter, which comes with the bonus of a set of golden darts worth £30,000. He has also thrown a 180 an incredible 128 times in his 26 Premier League matches. That's an average of 4.92 per game, almost double his nearest rival, Luke Humphries, who has thrown 69 for an average of 2.65. Littler continues to throw 180s at an average rate of 10.67 per week, and he has already equalled his record of 128 in a season after just 12 nights.

Staggering amount Luke Littler earns per LEG in Premier League Darts revealed – but rival gets more
THE incredible amount Luke Littler has pocketed in the Premier League has been revealed. The Nuke is currently top of the table ahead of night 13 in Birmingham today. 2 2 Littler has won 18 matches in the tournament so far and has four nightly victories to his name. Each of those four wins have seen him receive a cheque for a whopping £10,000. He also got his hands on a gold set of darts valued at £30,000 for throwing a perfect nine-darter in Cardiff six weeks ago. BetUK have crunched the numbers on his £70,000 earnings and on average, Littler takes home a stunning £5,833 per week from playing in the Premier League. The 18-year-old sensation has featured in 26 matches so far and it works out as £2,692 per match and £288 per leg. However, Littler does not top the amount per match chart as Gerywn Price averages to £2,857 after playing five games fewer. The Iceman is third in the table behind Luke Humprhies, who picks up £1,923 on average per Premier League match and £203 per leg. London's 02 Arena on May 29 is the venue for the showpiece semi-final and final. The overall champion will win £275,000, runner-up £125,000 and losing semi-finalists get £85,000 each. It is £75,000 for fifth, £70,000 for sixth, £65,000 for seventh and £60,000 for last. Gary Neville slammed for asking Luke Littler 'disrespectful question' by darts star Littler faces Stephen Bunting in the nightly opener in Birmingham later. The Warrington wonderkid is looking to make it back-to-back Premier League titles to add more cash to the £500,000 he got for becoming world champion in January.

Horse racing tips – Monday February 17: Southwell and Wolverhampton
Our betting expert has two selections from today's jumps meeting at Southwell (1.35-4.45pm) and one from the all-weather card at Wolverhampton (4.25-8.30). Monday's line-up is completed by the National Hunt fixture at Carlisle (1.20-5.05). Calum Weill's selections: Odds provided by Betfair and correct at the time of writing. If you already have a Betfair account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out our list of the best free bets. 3.05 Southwell – Play At The Races Stableduel Maiden Hurdle (2m) Today's nap is the Ben Pauling-trained WOLF MOON, who bids to go one better than his racecourse debut last month at Southwell (2m, soft). That day he did everything but beat the 2024 German Derby winner Palladium, who is currently 16/1 for the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham and overpriced according to his trainer's recent comments. The form of that race has been boosted since by Karton Plein, who finished 18½ lengths behind Wolf Moon and a further two behind the winner, shedding his maiden tag on his subsequent outing. None of today's opponents have form that is likely to trouble a Grade 1 contender at Cheltenham so there's confidence that the week will begin with a win. 4.25 Wolverhampton – Gamble Responsibly At BetUK Handicap (1m 1½f) Our only selection from the all-weather card at Dunstall Park, FAST SOCIETY, can help trainer Andrew Balding continue the form that has brought him a 30 per cent strike-rate over the past 14 days. With two wins from three starts in novice events, the four-year-old gelding showed plenty of early promise. He hasn't yet got his head in front in two runs this winter, but his second here last time out was very promising and, notably, he currently holds a Lincoln Handicap entry for next month. As the youngest horse in this field, Fast Society has the most scope for improvement, especially with this small step up in trip from 1m 1½f to 1m ½f. 3.40 Southwell – Watch Unbridled On Handicap Hurdle (2m 4½f) OWL OF ATHENS landed a huge gamble for his connections in similar conditions last month when he recorded an eight-length victory at Uttoxeter (2m 4f, good to soft). Given his 11lb rise for that win it's understandable that there hasn't been the same market support for today's favourite, however when a horse lands a gamble of that size there is usually plenty of improvement in the tank. The form has been franked since with the Icaque de L'Isle, the third at Uttoxeter, winning on his next start at Lingfield last week.
