Romell Glave declared "total domination" for Great Britain after leading team-mate Jeremiah Azu to a sensational European 100m one-two for the hosts, 24 hours after Amy Hunt's triumph in the women's event.
Glave made an international podium for the first time by winning 100m bronze at these championships in Rome two years ago, but the 26-year-old upgraded to gold with a dominant victory in 10.09 seconds in Birmingham.
Raising a finger to the sky in celebration, he became the sixth British man to win the European 100m title - and third in the past six editions after Zharnel Hughes (2018) and James Dasaolu (2014).
