Sherrock Upsets Littler in Manchester to Take Home £501,000

Fallon Sherrock produced one of the standout results of the darts calendar in Manchester, beating Luke Littler at the live "Beat Luke Littler" event and walking away with a £501,000 prize.

The win came down to a leg that gave Sherrock the victory over the sport's most high-profile young star. Littler has been the biggest draw in darts for some time, so any result that takes him down will draw attention from the crowd in the arena and from fans watching at home.

The size of the payout reflects how the night was built around the chance to beat the favourite. Sherrock has long been a trailblazer for women in the sport, having become the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship, and a result like this adds another headline to that record.
