Mo Farah gave the Olympic Stadium crowd another 'Super Saturday' performance as a devastating final lap earned him victory over 3,000 metres at the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games.
The double London 2012 champion hit the front with around 500m to go and from then on there was no stopping him as he came home in seven minutes 36.85 seconds.
David Moorcroft’s 31-year-old British record of 7mins 32.79secs was never on the cards, but the bumper crowd which roared Farah on could not have cared less.
American Ryan Hill finished second, more than five seconds behind the Briton.
