LUKE LITTLER and Phil Taylor have finally pitted themselves against each other months after their first meeting.
Target Darts arranged the reigning World champion Littler to face the 16-time Ally Pally king Taylor.
The pair stepped up to settle this contest of titans… over a jenga tower.
And the highly-anticipated answer of who would win was revealed to be… 18-year-old Littler.
The match took three minutes and 40 seconds to decide, with Taylor, 54, eventually seeing the tower tumble as he tried to take out a block near the bottom.
On his huge victory, Littler said: “I knew that I was going to have to be at my very best to block out the noise and knock over such an incredible opponent.
“Phil is such a towering player who has set the bar so high in his amazing career, so it feels great to have kept a steady hand and secured a win against a true legend.”
Despite having the edge in experience, Taylor added: “It was a high-stakes match.
“I thought I might’ve had the edge with experience, but fair play to Luke, he held his nerve, and I crumbled!
“He really knows how to take his opponent down, piece by piece.
“I’m sure we’ll continue to see him make the right moves and reach new heights.”
