England's Brodie Williams passed compatriot Luke Greenbank on the last length to claim 200m backstroke gold at the Commonwealth Games.
Williams, 23, trailed after 100m but charged as Greenbank, who eventually finished fifth, faded.
Greenbank had his head in his hands as Williams celebrated, before the pair embraced as the home crowd cheered.
Laura Stephens brought more joy for the hosts with 200m butterfly silver in the next race.
Australia's Bradley Woodward took men's 200m backstroke silver and South African Pieter Coetze claimed bronze.
In the women's 200m butterfly, Australia's Elizabeth Dekkers claimed gold and compatriot Brianna Throssell bronze.
