Luke Littler is just the fourth player to reach three consecutive PDC World Championship finals
Luke Littler surged into his third successive PDC World Championship final and will face European champion Gian van Veen in what promises to be a blockbuster conclusion to the tournament.
World champion Littler came from a set down to beat 20th seed Ryan Searle in impressive style, averaging 105.35 in a 6-1 win over his fellow Englishman.
Meanwhile, Dutchman Van Veen overcame two-time champion Gary Anderson 6-3 in a semi-final for the ages that saw both players average just shy of 103.
Littler's success meant he has still yet to taste defeat prior to a final at Alexandra Palace and extended the 18-year-old's unbeaten record in major ranking tournament semi-finals to 11.
