Littler produced a 110.43 average in the rout as he looks to win a third European Tour title of the season.

The 17-year-old will next face Damon Heta in Prague on Sunday.

Littler told the PDC website: "I'm happy with that. I know what I can throw with these darts and that's why I didn't play with the gold ones.

"There was load of talk about changing my darts so I've come here this weekend and made the decision to go back to what I know best, and they went well tonight.

"If I play like this again tomorrow I'll be very happy."

World champion Luke Humphries is also through to the last 16 after a 6-2 win over Ritchie Edhouse.

Humphries said: "It was a decent performance but I know I can improve.

"I feel like there's another level in me – I'm not playing my best but I manage to be doing the right things at the right time. I want to be back to my fluent best."

World Grand Prix champion Mike de Decker continued his momentum from last week with a 6-0 success over Danny Noppert.

Michael van Gerwen hit five 180's and averaged 104.56 in his 6-4 victory over Krzysztof Ratajski to set up a tie against Alan Soutar.

Germany's Martin Schindler beat Scotland's Peter Wright 6-1 while Jermaine Wattimena set up a third-round clash with fellow Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld with a 6-0 thrashing of Chris Dobey.
