Australia ensured their 100 percent men's hockey record at the Commonwealth Games continued as they thrashed India 4-0 to claim a fifth successive gold medal in Glasgow on Sunday.

Chris Ciriello struck twice in the first half from penalty corners to give the Aussies a commanding lead at the break. Ciriello then completed his hat trick from another penalty corner early in the second period and Eddie Ockenden rounded off the scoring from close range 20 minutes from time.

Earlier, England claimed the bronze medal courtesy of a 4-2 win in a penalty shootout over New Zealand after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
