Littler, 17, recovered from 4-8 and 7-9 down in order to complete a sensational turnaround.

He was able to pull off two 12-dart finishes in his run to make it to the final eight of the tournament.

After the match, Littler hinted that he could change his style to slow down at the oche.

He took more time later in the match against De Decker, which paid off in his victory.

He told Sky Sports: “I don’t know if I enjoyed that. I’ve got to feel for Mike.

“I didn’t think I was in the game, but I know I can always switch that gear.

“Early on, I was at my normal pace but towards the end I was taking an extra second, and that helped me.

“I might have to throw like that from now on.

“I didn’t think I could overturn the deficit [in the final session]. I just can’t believe it.”

Fans believed that Littler had a helping had from the crowd as they booed De Decker when he was at the oche.

This led to a lot of criticism towards the PDC and referee for not stamping down on the behaviour.

Littler will now face Dutch ace Jermaine Wattimena in the next round.

He progressed to the quarter-final by beating Dimitri Van den Bergh 10-9 after surviving EIGHT match darts.
