Michael van Gerwen urged Luke Littler to release his emotions when spotting him crying moments after winning the PDC World Darts Championship. The 17-year-old dismantled the three-time world champion 7-3 in Friday's final to break Van Gerwen's record as the youngest player to be crowned champion. After pinning double 16 to claim victory, Littler was reduced to tears during his celebrations and was promptly greeted by the Dutchman, who embraced the teenager and offered up a few words of advice.
