He is known for his unwavering ability with the arrows in his hands and has averaged over 100 at the World Championship.

However, when he had to face British McLaren driver Lando Norris in an entertaining display of his skills, he proved that sometimes even the best get it wrong.

In the game where Norris was challenged to score 101 while Littler needed 501 to win, the pair got off to slow starts.

Littler scored 23 points with his first three shots while Norris scored 20 points against his professional competitor.

The duo continued to battle outside in the elements, which no doubt affected the flight of their darts.

But surprisingly, with Littler needing 228 to win and Norris needing just 42, the darts star only managed to make one of his three attempts.

And the one nestled in the board only gave him ONE point of his required goal, which he applauded by raising a finger in the air.

Formula 1 commentator David Croft immediately asked: “Luke, have you ever scored a goal before?”

“No,” he replied sheepishly.

“This is a first, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve brought Luke Littler to the level we can all play at,” joked Croft.

But in the end, his class won him over, as he beat Norris and took the victory with a double 20.

The duo then allowed the Formula 1 star to show off his skills with Norris taking Littler on a hot lap of Silverstone.
