Luke Littler shattered Phil Taylor's long‑standing World Matchplay records as he demolished Gerwyn Price 18-9 in Blackpool to retain his title, leaving much of the darts world labelling the 19-year-old 'absolutely unplayable'.
Littler averaged 111.53 in the final and 111.04 across the week, tearing past Taylor's tournament record of 106.31, set in 2010. He also eclipsed Taylor's previous final benchmark of 111.23, thrown against Adrian Lewis in 2013.
