Awkward moment Luke Littler’s opponent refuses to even look at him on live TV after being crushed in less than 10 mins
THIS is the awkward moment Luke Littler’s opponent refused to look at him after being demolished in less than 10 minutes.
17-year-old Littler put on a barnstorming performance as he brushed aside Matt Campbell in a 6-0 thrashing at the US Darts Masters in New York.

The match was Littler’s first in America, just over a week after winning the Premier League of Darts on his debut.
Littler completed victory in just nine minutes and 52 seconds with an amazing average of 103.66.
But Campbell could barely watch towards the end as Littler racked up the points to seal leg after leg.
And as the teen sealed victory, Canadian Campbell awkwardly refused to look at him altogether.
But Littler took victory in his stride, saying: “I couldn’t wait to get on that stage.
“I felt really comfortable, everything just went well and I can’t wait to play tomorrow now.
“With the amount of top athletes that have performed here, it would mean the world to lift this trophy and hopefully I can go all the way.”
Littler’s next match sees him take on Jeff Smith later today.

Saturday will see the tournament conclude too, with Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries and Nathan Aspinall also still involved.
After bagging a £315,000 prize with the Premier League last month, Littler revealed he’s spent some of his winnings on a new video game console.
The youngster added: “None of them went to Fifa points.
“But I did buy a Nintendo Switch, which I have brought away with me to have a bit of fun.
“Usually we are sat in the hotel rooms waiting for the next day to play.
“We did some sightseeing this week. I came back, chilled out and played on the Switch.”
‘He just eats potatoes on TikTok’
LUKE LITTLER has called out social media star Beavo for a boxing fight.
Littler, 17, has taken the world by storm after exploding on to the darts scene last Christmas.
But he’s already eyeing a switch to the boxing ring.
On a trip Stateside ahead of the US Darts Masters, Littler was asked who he’d choose to fight while appearing on Ariel Helwani’s MMA podcast.
And, waving off suggestions of Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith, he instead chose TikTok sensation Beavo.
Littler said: “It’s like a proper person, it’s not a darts player.
“Do I like him? Nah. Beavo.
“He just swallows potatoes whole on TikTok.”
