Luke Littler overturned a four-leg deficit to beat Gary Anderson 16-15 in a thrilling semi-final in the Grand Slam of Darts.
Anderson hit finishes of 164, 142, 124 and 102 as he opened up a 13-9 lead, but Littler stormed back to win seven of the last nine legs and book his place in the final in Wolverhampton.
“It frustrates me because I know I can come back and win games like this, but obviously it would be better if I went into the lead like Gary did,” Littler, who hit 16 180s and averaged 103.81, told Sky Sports.

“When I went off for the last break I thought you’ve got to dig deep, just like the Mike De Decker game and I can’t believe I won.
“I said to myself ‘You know it’s there so do it’. This is one of the best games I’ve won.”
Littler will face Martin Lukeman in Sunday night’s final after defeating Mickey Mansell 16-12 in the first semi-final.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
