LUKE LITTLER revealed how an energy drink and a hit of sugar fired him to a first major ranking title at the Grand Slam of Darts.

The 17-year-old again showcased his prestigious talent by coasting to his 10th title of his debut year on the PDC Tour.

After an epic 16-15 semi-final win over Gary Anderson on Sunday afternoon, he returned to the stage in the evening to destroy Martin Lukeman 16-3 in the final.
