Adam Peaty claimed a first Commonwealth 50m breaststroke title in what he says is his final race at the Games after "an incredibly hard time" recently.

Having missed out on a 100m medal on Sunday as he recovers from a broken foot, Peaty had said he was "not bothered" about adding the shorter title to his collection.

That did not appear to be the case as he thrashed the water in celebration.

The 27-year-old led throughout to take gold in 26.76 seconds.

Australian silver medallist Sam Williamson was 0.21 seconds back, with Scotland's Ross Murdoch - who secretly retired in December before returning to swimming - taking bronze in 27.32 seconds.
