'Snakebite' celebrated a stunning return to winning ways on an extraordinary night in Hildesheim, defeating a record-breaking Luke Littler 8-5 in the 2024 German Darts Championship final.

Two-time world champion Wright defied the odds to topple Littler in one of the most remarkable European Tour finals of all-time, having trailed 5-2 in Sunday’s showpiece at Halle 39.

Premier League winner Littler averaged 106.87 and hit ten 180s in a compelling contest, but it wasn’t enough to triumph, as Wright reeled off six successive legs to claim his second German Darts Championship crown.

Littler had made an ominous start to proceedings, recording legs of 11, 14 and 13 darts to lead 3-0 with a 118 average, but Wright showed signs of life with a clinical 110 kill in leg six after Littler had squandered two darts for a 5-1 lead, only for the odds-on pre-match favourite to regain his cushion with a 12-dart leg in leg seven.

However, a sensational 146 checkout in leg eight turned the tide for Wright, as he capitalised on missed opportunities from Littler in three straight legs to establish an unlikely 6-5 lead.

The Warrington man then missed double 15 for a spectacular 150 checkout in leg 12 as Wright pinned double one to move to the cusp of victory, before the Scot capped off a famous triumph with an 11-darter on tops.

“I just kept believing in myself,” reflected Wright, who defied a ten-point gap in the averages to lift his ninth European Tour title.

“Luke is a fantastic dart player and he was blowing me off the board with 180s, but I thought if I could keep with him, I might get back into it.

“This means a lot to me. Luke is distraught because he wants to win. He’s a fighter, he’s a winner, and he’ll be back and beating us all again soon!”

Wright, who will now be looking to build-upon his success in the upcoming World Series of Darts Finals, followed up an opening round win over Niko Springer with a thrilling second round win against Stephen Bunting on Saturday, as the Masters champion crashed out with a 103 average.

The Scot then backed up a gruelling 6-4 success against Gian van Veen with victory over Michael van Gerwen by the same scoreline in an epic quarter-final, averaging 108.90 to overturn a 4-2 deficit.

Dave Chisnall lay in wait in the last four, but even the top seed was unable to halt Wright's charge, with the rejuvenated Scotsman pinning seven of his 12 attempts at double to move through to his first final of 2024.

The PDC European Tour continues this coming weekend, as the inaugural Flanders Darts Trophy (ET10) takes place in Belgium, before attentions turn towards the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam.
