The 17-year-old raced into a 2-0 lead but was pegged back to 2-2 by Snakebite.
He then checked out with a staggering 170 – celebrating it pretending to reel in the Big Fish.
Wright broke back trailing 4-2 and then made it 4-4 as the Scot played the best darts of his 2024 Premier League campaign.
Littler missed three leg darts at 4-4 and Wright took full advantage with a clutch double ten.
Wright missed a match dart on the double eight and Littler hit back in style, levelling the quarter-final at 5-5 with tops.
And Littler closed it out on his throw to survive an almighty scare and book his place in the final four.
But fans watching the action at home were fixated on his change of technique.
One said: “Luke Littler appears to have made an adjustment to his throw since the ProTour in midweek and it turns out he’s even better. Insane.”
Another wrote: “Only just tuned into the Premier League but Littler has changed his throw ever so slightly, he’s setting the dart more. He’s done this before but never this frequently, and he’s still unreal.”
