Milad Beigi Harchegani wins taekwondo gold for Azerbaijan

Milad Beigi Harchegani has raced to a shock taekwondo gold for Azerbaijan in the men's 80kg at the European Games.

Harchegani, who earlier beat Great Britain's Lutalo Muhammad in the quarter-finals, was the lowest-ranked athlete in the event, but that didn't stop him beating the Russian Federation's Albert Guan 9-4 in the final.

Guan was 3-1 down after round one, but he hit back to trail by just one prior to the final round.

However, he couldn't stop a rampant Harchegani, who scored four unanswered points to secure victory.

Muhammad and Portugal's Julio Ferreira won bronze.
