The world champion looked set to be blown away by Cross but he pulled off an amazing comeback to win the match from 5-1 down.

Littler had won the opening frame but then swiftly fell behind to his opponent.

Cross went on to play at a “disgusting level”, according to the Sky Sports commentator.

The Kent thrower won five legs back-to-back before Littler was able to get one back.

Littler then won another leg with a brilliant 180 before finishing with a classic double 10.

He then won the two final legs back-to-back in destructive fashion to win the match.

Cross, on the other hand, grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory as he lost 6-5.

He had three match darts during the match that would have seen off Littler.

The Sky commentator even suggested that the world No.4 did not “not know his own name” by the end.

Fans were left stunned by the comeback from Littler as they reacted on social media.

One posted: “What a comeback from Littler.”

A second wrote: “That was incredible to watch. The lad is chucking arrows like prime Robin Hood!”

A third commented: “Wow two sides of Rob cross he totally capitulated.”

A fourth said: “Unreal. What a talent.”

Another added: “Some comeback that from the Nuke.”

Littler then continued his form in the second half of his clash against Cross against Michael van Gerwen.

He took the first leg with just 13 darts as he appeared to be continuing from where he left off against Cross.

And he was at it again in the second to frustrate MVG, who had earlier beaten Stephen Bunting.

The Warrington broke MVG again in the third leg to open up a decent lead in Glasgow.

It got even better for Littler as he went four legs up with another routine effort while his Dutch foe struggled to show his best form.

MVG finally got himself on the board as he won the fifth leg of the match.

Littler then reminded him who was on top in the game as he comeback from behind to win the sixth leg and put himself one away from victory.

But he was made to wait for it as MVG survived a match dart to snatch his second leg of the night.

Littler did not hang about as he wrapped up the game with a 6-2 victory, put MVG out of the night, and put himself in the final in Glasgow.
