Luke Littler has won his second straight World Darts Championship, triumphing over Dutchman Gian van Veen.

Littler, 18, lost the first set at Alexandra Palace but roared back with seven straight sets to win the coveted title in back-to-back years.

It was the teenager's third final in a row, having lost to Luke Humphries in 2024 when he was just 16 years old.

Littler, nicknamed 'the Nuke', lost just four sets across the whole tournament in an utterly dominant display over the festive period.

Littler, quoting two-time world champion boxer Anthony Joshua, said: "The first time was so nice, I had to do it twice."
