Luke Littler demolished James Wade in the UK Open final to lift his fifth major title and claim a £110,000 prize.
The Nuke battered Wade 11-2 - and was 9-0 up at one stage - in Minehead on Sunday night to scoop up his first major since the World Championship.
He admitted that Manchester United's 2-1 FA Cup exit to Fulham on the same evening gave him the inspiration to scoop up another major after triumphs in the Premier League, Grand Slam, and World Series finals last year.
'In the semi-final second break I heard that Manchester United lost so it spurred me on a bit,' he said.
