Ethan Nairne defeated his compatriot Benjamin Levy in an all-English men's -73kg final to win judo gold at the Commonwealth Games.
The 24-year-old beat Scotland's Daniel Pacitti, Wales' Ben Moore and the Gambia's Faye Njie on his way to the final at the SEC Centre.
Nairne had to be patient against Levy but a one-armed shoulder throw eventually clinched gold by Yuko.
He was joined on the podium by Levy and Northern Ireland's Josh Green, who claimed bronze with a golden score victory over Welshman Moore.
It is a second Commonwealth Games medal for the Nairne family this week after Lele, Ethan's older sister, won bronze by ippon with an emphatic throw to the mat to defeat Ghanas Frema Agyei within just 28 seconds on Friday.
