Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler continues to rewrite the sport's record books, crushing Ryan Searle 6-1 in a stunning PDC World Championship semi-final performance that cements his status as a generational talent.

The 18-year-old world champion delivered a masterclass of precision and power, averaging an extraordinary 105.35 and hitting 10 massive 180s during his dominant victory. Littler's remarkable run means he remains undefeated in major tournament semi-finals, extending his incredible streak to 11 consecutive wins.

Searle briefly threatened an upset by taking the opening set, but Littler's relentless scoring and clinical doubles quickly dismantled any hopes of an underdog triumph. A critical moment came in the third set when Searle's opening three darts could only muster 15 points, giving Littler the momentum he would not surrender.

With a checkout percentage of 58.8%, Littler was particularly devastating on double 20, showcasing the kind of surgical precision that has made him a phenomenon in professional darts. He narrowly missed two potential nine-dart finishes, drawing playful crowd reactions that highlighted his growing popularity.

Littler is now just one match away from becoming only the fourth player in history to win consecutive PDC World Championships. His Saturday final opponent will be determined by the ongoing semi-final between Gian van Veen and Gary Anderson.

Speaking after his victory, Littler remained characteristically humble: "I'm very happy with tonight - the doubles, the finishing, the high-scoring. It could have been a bit better but I'm happy to make it three consecutive finals [at the World Championship]."

This performance further solidifies Littler's status as a transformative figure in darts, combining youthful exuberance with surgical technical skill that belies his teenage years.
