Britain's Josh Kerr shocks Norway's Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen to take 1500m gold
Kerr, Olympic bronze medallist in Tokyo, timed his surge for gold to perfection inside the final 200m.
The 25-year-old clocked a season's best three minutes 29.38 seconds to make his first podium at a World Championships.
It comes one year after Ingebrigtsen suffered defeat by Briton Jake Wightman in similar circumstances in Eugene.
Kerr let out an almighty roar as he crossed the line, celebrating with the crowd and embracing his parents in the stands with a crown on his head and a gold medal proudly hanging from his neck.
"It's been a long time coming," the Scot said.
"It's quite an overwhelming experience but I'm so proud of myself and of my team and my family that got me here.
"I didn't feel like I ran the best race. I just threw my whole 16 years of this sport in that last 200m and didn't give up until the end."
Ingebrigtsen, meanwhile, appeared crestfallen as history repeated itself.
The 22-year-old led from the front for much of the race before once again being denied by a gutsy finish from a British athlete, Kerr breaking his rival in the final 50m.
Ingebrigtsen held on for silver in 3:29.65 ahead of compatriot Narve Gilje Nordas (3:29.68), while Britain's Neil Gourley finished ninth in 3:31.10.
Kerr earned GB a fourth medal of the championships, and second gold, following in the footsteps of Katarina Johnson-Thompson's heptathlon triumph.
