Anderson hit finishes of 164, 142, 124 and 102 as he opened up a 13-9 lead, but Littler stormed back to win seven of the last nine legs and book his place in the final in Wolverhampton.
“It frustrates me because I know I can come back and win games like this, but obviously it would be better if I went into the lead like Gary did,” Littler, who hit 16 180s and averaged 103.81, told Sky Sports.
“When I went off for the last break I thought you’ve got to dig deep, just like the Mike De Decker game and I can’t believe I won.
“I said to myself ‘You know it’s there so do it’. This is one of the best games I’ve won.”
