PETER WRIGHT stunned a distraught Luke Littler in the German Darts Championship final with an incredible comeback win.
Snakebite stormed home 8-5 from 5-2 down – as Luke the Nuke looked on in disbelief and apparent anger, before being rendered speechless as he choked up in an interview afterwards.
Littler took just 38 darts to romp 3-0 up – seemingly unstoppable.
Wright then bagged two 180s to finally get on the scoreboard.
But the Warrington whizkid responded with his third maximum of the clash – his 24th of the tournament – to go 4-1 ahead.
Wright landed two ton finishes to stay in touch at 5-3 down.
Yet at this stage Littler had rarely looked better – averaging 111 – and still appearing in control.
However, Snakebite broke to close to just 5-4 behind – the first sign of real discomfort for his 17-year-old opponent.
And Littler then blew a strong position as Wright nicked the next leg to level.
Snakebite did much the same for the next two legs to move 7-5 in front.

And Wright then held his nerve to clinch a shock triumph with his eighth straight leg.
A devastated-looking Littler said: “He wouldn’t go away. I threw my best, he threw his best.
“But fair play to Peter, he’s played well this weekend.”
However, Littler appeared to tear up and was unable to continue his post-match chat – with the interviewer consoling him.
