Sky Sports forced to make major change to darts coverage after blunder as Luke Littler easily beats Nathan Aspinall
FANS watching Luke Littler’s Premier League quarter-final clash with Nathan Aspinall were left confused with a changing scoreboard.
While Littler was dominating the third leg of the match the digital scoreboard in the corner of fans’ screens appeared to stop working.
After the display seemed to freeze for a short while and show incorrect score, the broadcasters then changed it to an old-fashioned looking one instead.
Fans were confused by the unusual technical error and took to social media to make their thoughts heard.
One wrote: “Scoreboard u okay hun?”
While another added: “People pay for this scoreboard Sky Sports – get a grip!”
And a third posted: “I hope I never see that scoreboard again.”
Things at the Oche seemed to be going much better for Littler as the teen sensation booked his spot in the semi-finals for Premier League night six in Brighton.
The 17-year-old managed a brilliant performance against Nathan Aspinall in The Brighton Centre.
Littler got off to a strong start against Aspinall, who he is known to train alongside with the pair playing under the same management.

The youngster won the first leg no problem before keeping his momentum to take the second leg off his mate too.
From that point on it started to look like the Luke Littler show as he hit his target on the cork shot after shot.
Aspinall on the other hand looked nervy as he struggled to get anything to fall the right side of the wires with the game ending in a 6-3 victory for Littler.
Littler will now face the winner of the quarter-final between Peter Wright and Michael Smith in his semi-final later in the evening.
