Luke Littler goaded Liverpool supporters over their Merseyside derby defeat as the Man United supporter responded to jeers on the latest Premier League Darts stop this season.

The 17-year-old is a vocal Man United supporter, leading to him being booed ahead of his walk-on for his quarter-final match against Gerwyn Price at the M&S Bank Arena.

Littler responded by signalling 2-0 with his hands, referencing Liverpool's defeat on Wednesday in the Merseyside derby.

The darts sensation then placed his hands on his head, before laughing at the crowd.

Liverpool's defeat at Goodison Park has significantly dented the Reds title hopes, with Jurgen Klopp's side three points behind leaders Arsenal with four matches to play.

Littler made the perfect start to night 13 of Premier League Darts, beating Price 6-3 to book his spot in the semi-finals.

'The Nuke' had earlier been asked about Everton's victory over Liverpool, as well as the potential to face a hostile reaction from the crowd due to being a Man United supporter.

'My manager said expect the worst and if it’s not that bad, I’ll take it as a positive,' Littler told Sky Sports.

'Fans can’t really take the banter but that’s all I do, have a bit of banter. I’ll be looking to get a few more points on the board tonight.

Littler added that he watched the Merseyside derby last night, instead of Man United's 4-2 victory over Sheffield United.

'It was a good result for Everton,' a grinning Littler said.
