Luke Littler wins World Championship

After he fell at the last hurdle in last year's final against Luke Humphries this year Luke Littler nailed down the title with a convincing 7:3 defeat of Michael van Gerwen.
Littler dominated the match from the start and stormed to a 4:0 lead before van Gerwen won his first set. Van Gerwen after that got better into the game and managed to win two more sets but all in all missed far to many doubles and was
consequentially punished by Littler. 18 days before his 18. birthday Littler crowned himself as youngest ever PDC World Champion in the history of the tournament.
