Littler Explains 'Cry Baby' Remark Directed at Van Veen

Luke Littler has shed light on the reason behind his 'cry baby' comment aimed at Gian van Veen, following their intense Premier League Darts match in Manchester. Littler claims Van Veen effectively conceded at the end of the match, prompting the remark. The controversy began when Van Veen won a disputed match earlier in April, and Littler reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing match darts in a dramatic leg. Van Veen had stated that Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating towards the crowd, which led to their confrontation. However, Littler has now spoken out about the incident, revealing that Van Veen had put his darts down in front of him, which he believed was disrespectful. Littler expressed that there was no need for Van Veen's actions and that he was simply focusing on his own game. The incident has sparked a rivalry between the two players, with Littler stating that he will continue to focus on his darts and that their rivalry will likely continue throughout the season.
