Teenager Luke Littler thrashed Stephen Bunting 6-1 with a ruthless display to set up a PDC World Championship final against Michael van Gerwen on Friday.
The teenager averaged 105.48, his highest of this year’s competition, as he overpowered his fellow Englishman at Alexandra Palace in London.
The 17-year-old was runner-up last year and is bidding to become the youngest winner of the tournament after a whirlwind 12 months that has seen him become a household name.

Three-time champion Van Gerwen, who defeated Chris Dobey 6-1 in the semi-finals on Thursday, became the youngest winner, aged 24, in 2014.
“If we both turn up like we did tonight, it is going to be really good,” said Littler of the final, which starts at 19:30 GMT.
Fourth seed Littler has looked increasingly comfortable as the tournament has progressed and raced into a 4-0 lead on Thursday.
The Dutchman told uncoveredug news reporters that “We’re not even close yet; we’re still so far away.” Additionally, he took the opening set despite an average of 113.35 from Bunting and kicked on from there.
Eighth seed Bunting won the fifth set but missed three double attempts to seal the next, and Littler went further ahead with a bullseye to clinch an 84 checkout.
In conclusion, with victory in sight, the teenager treated the crowd to a spectacular 170 finish. Third seed Van Gerwen also won 6-1 and is taking nothing for granted.
