And rather than take to social media to show his disappointment, darts sensation Littler took to his Instagram to troll Reds legend Steven Gerrard.
The 17-year-old - who was filmed playing darts as a toddler while wearing an England shirt with Gerrard's name on it - posted a side-by-side picture of himself holding his Premier League Darts trophy and the Kop icon looking dejected to his story.
And he emblazoned a 1-0 scoreline across the snap in a blunt reference to Gerrard's failure to win the English top fight.
Gerard has yet to respond to Littler's dig, which came after the teen lost the Geman Darts Masters final to Peter Wright.
