Britain's Mo Farah wins the 5,000m gold medal in Daegu.

Great Britain's Mo Farah has won gold in the World 5,000m event in Daegu.

The 28-year-old finished in a time of 13:23.36, ahead of Bernard Lagat and Imane Merga.

Farah, who won silver in the 10,000m, began the race biding his time at the back before gradually moving up towards the front with four laps to go.

He was followed closely all race by former Kenyan Lagat, who now represents the USA.

At the bell Farah held the lead ahead of a congested pack.

He kicked on with 300m to go, never relinquishing the lead and held off a late challenge from Lagat.
