World 5,000m champion Farah had thought his race would not come down to the last lap as his rivals feared his sprinting speed, but in the end that was what happened and Farah hit the front at the bell to time his finish to perfection.
The 29-year-old came home ahead of Galen Rupp of the USA, with Tariku Bekele finishing a further half a second back to take bronze.
