Kenyan Amos Kipruto won his first London Marathon title on Sunday and Ethiopia's Yalemzerf Yehualaw stormed to victory in the women's race ahead of last year's winner Joyciline Jepkosgei.
Kipruto made a move with five kilometres left as his consistent acceleration allowed him to negotiate a clean lead and avoid a sprint finish with Gebresilase.
The victor finished in two hours four minutes and 39 seconds to take his first marathon title after coming second to world record holder Eliud Kipchoge in Japan in March.
