ARNE SPEE came from behind to seal a thrilling win over Kevin Cottiss at the Modus Super Series – but only after an incredibly awkward exchange between the rivals.
The Dutchman notched a 4-3 victory as they went head-to-head in Portsmouth.
But Spee left his rival absolutely seething seconds after pulling the deficit back to 2-1.
Having hit triple 20 and double 15 to get himself on the board, he was offered a congratulatory fist bump by Cottiss.
And, after staring at the ground as he walked past, Spee snubbed the offer.
As Cottiss prepared to get the fourth leg of the showdown underway, he gave his opponent a menacing look.

The official account of the Modus Super Series posted footage of the exchange, along with the caption: “The FILTHIEST look we’ve ever seen…”
It was Spee who had the last laugh after seeing Cottiss agonisingly miss a match dart.
Having found the 18 and triple 20, the bullseye was needed to wrap up the victory.
But Cottiss hit the outer bull, leaving Spee with a golden opportunity to capitalise.
