After the win it is the 14th Gold Medal added to the Team GB's impressive haul.Farah kicked away from a big pack coming into the final straight and won in 27 minutes, 30.42 seconds.Farah kneeled down on the track and kissed the ground as he realised his Olympic dream.
He told BBC1: "I've never experienced something like this, it doesn't come around that often and to have it on your doorstep with that amount of people supporting you and shouting your name...it's never gonna get any better than this. This is the best moment of my life.
"It's just something that I've worked so hard for.
"It's just the grinding and hard work and 120 miles a week, week in, week out and long distance events and what you put into it is what you get out."
He added: "I want to thank everyone who has supported me from my childhood until now. Without all those people that wouldn't have happened and I've just got to enjoy this moment I guess."
