Darts sensation Luke Littler trolls Jurgen Klopp with ‘trebles’ joke after Man Utd dump Liverpool out of FA Cup in dramatic quarter-final tie

A heavyweight FA Cup quarter-final tie at Old Trafford saw north-west neighbours lock horns with a place at Wembley up for grabs. A thrilling encounter lurched one way and then the other, with a global audience treated to seven goals in a cup classic.

United netted four of those, with the most dramatic of winners arriving in the 121st minute as substitute Amad Diallo struck to settle the contest and prevent it from heading into a penalty shootout. There were wild scenes of celebration, with heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury among those in attendance.

World Darts Championship finalist Littler was watching on from afar, and he could not resist aiming a dig at Liverpool as the Reds saw their dreams of sweeping the board on the domestic trophy front in 2024 go up in smoke. Littler shared a graphic on social media that included the joke: “What is the difference between Luke Littler & Jurgen Klopp? Littler has more trebles!”
