Luke Littler couldn't resist trolling Liverpool for a second time after the Reds suffered a shock Europa League quarter-final first leg loss to Atalanta.

Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by the Serie A side, with Gianluca Scamacca scoring twice and Mario Pasalic adding a third in the 83rd minute.

It was Liverpool's first defeat at Anfield since being beaten 5-2 by Real Madrid in the Champions League last season.

Jurgen Klopp admitted that his side "deserved to lose" after a poor showing and darts sensation Littler, a staunch Manchester United fan, rinsed Liverpool with two posts.

The 17-year-old was in action at night 11 of the Premier League darts on Thursday, reaching the final yet again in Birmingham.

After going all the way in Manchester and Belfast, he recorded victories over Rob Cross and Luke Humphries before being denied a third consecutive victory in the final against Michael van Gerwen.

Just minutes before taking on 'Mighty Mike', Littler shared Liverpool's loss on his Instagram, writing Oh dear", adding a monkey head-in-hands emoji.

Littler and Liverpool both lost on the same night, which led to plenty of fans going after him for his post on Instagram.

Yet he was quick to remind people that unlike Liverpool, he remains top of the Premier League table.

The Reds find themselves behind Arsenal on goal difference following on from the 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

When someone commented "Karma for Liverpool", Littler replied: "I'm top of the league unlike Liverpool."

The Atalanta result also prompted an immediate reaction from Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Dane, a £72 million signing from Atalanta in the summer, shared the triumph of his former side on his Instagram.

Hojlund, who scored 10 goals in 34 games for Atalanta, added the Bergamo saying, "Mola mia" to rub salt in the wounds.
