Luke Littler beat Josh Rock 8-7 in a dramatic Flanders Darts Trophy final to claim a fourth PDC European Tour title.

The teenager trailed 5-2 after a bright start from Northern Irishman Rock, but won four legs in a row to take a 6-5 lead in Antwerp, Belgium.

But, after Rock won two of the next three legs to draw level at 7-7, a last-leg decider was required.

Littler remained calm to claim the title with an 11-darter, sealing victory with a double 18.

"I think ever since I've been playing darts, it might sound crazy but I love a last-leg decider," said the 18-year-old.

"I back myself near enough every time, whether it's with or against the darts, but I had to go out in 11 there."

Littler has previously tasted victory in the Austrian Darts Open and two more in the Belgian Darts Open.
