After 23 days, 126 matches and plenty of drama, the final of the World Darts Championship proved to be a bit of a walkover as Luke Littler dismantled Gian van Veen.
In doing so, Littler became the first man to go back-to-back since Gary Anderson did so 10 years ago. He also pocketed £1 million for his triumph -- double the amount he earned for beating Michael van Gerwen last year.

This year's World Championship has been notable for the number of seeds failing to make it to the latter stages and the emergence of a new star in Justin Hood.
Elsewhere, Ryan Searle and Gary Anderson hit a rich vein of form that saw them comfortably defeat their more fancied opponents.
