    Teenage darts star Luke Littler says he's silenced the doubters, after avenging his World championship final defeat by winning the Premier League crown

    The 17-year-old beat fellow Englishman Luke Humphries in today's final in London... after qualifying top during the regular season, following his loss to Humphries in the world final in January.

    But Littler hit out on stage following his big win - explaining afterwards that he did hear the criticism from some pundits after that earlier setback.
