It had been four years since Mark Selby had won a Triple Crown title - but he ended that drought in style by winning a thrilling UK Championship final against Judd Trump.

It was a contest that had everything - from big breaks to barely believable blunders, from classy clearances to close-but-no-cigar comebacks.

Thanks for tuning in to BBC Sport's coverage of this fabulous tournament - we'll see you right back here in a few weeks for The Masters!

Our very own Steve Sutcliffe has been at York Barbican - you can read his report here, on what turned out to be an unexpectedly memorable final.

Mark has been the best player the entire week. I think 2-1 behind to Zhou Yuelong was the only time he was behind.

He was an awesome competitor all week - and it was the right result.

Here's the moment Mark Selby clinched his 10th Triple Crown title.

More from Mark Selby on BBC Two:

"I set my target every year to win one of these three tournaments (Triple Crown). It's not easy to do but that's my goal and if I pick up some other tournaments along the way, fantastic.

"I think I speak for all the top boys, the other tournaments are great but you are judged by these Triple Crown events - like the Grand Slams in tennis - so I'm chuffed to win another."

Champion Mark Selby on BBC Two:

"To win another Triple Crown event - they're not easy to win, as you can tell - it took me nine years to get back here.

"Judd put me under pressure - I was a bit all over the place towards the end, I don't know how I managed to make it [the winning break]."

Runner-up Judd Trump on BBC Two:

"It wasn't me playing amazing, Mark let me back in a little bit - he was brilliant at the start and I just dragged him down at the end.

"It's hard to get over the line in these finals but I think Mark was the best player all week, he played very, very well and he thoroughly deserved his win.

"It's been a good week, brilliant tournament, great crowd and I look forward to coming back next year."

Mark Selby seals victory in style with a couple of exhibition shots to the delight of the Barbican crowd.

He dominated the afternoon session to lead 6-2 but had to ward off a fightback from world number one Judd Trump that took this final deeper than many would have expected a few hours ago.

In the end, a sublime break of 70 from an incredibly difficult position wraps things up and gives Selby his 10th Triple Crown title.

Just the formalities now of potting as many of the remaining balls as he can, or fancies.

Mark Selby clenches his fist after knocking in the title-sealing red.

Judd Trump will not be coming back to the table.

And the pink stretches the lead to 70.

Mark Selby plays safe - Judd Trump needs three snookers to prevent the Jester claiming a third UK title.

What a break this is.

64 ahead with 59 on...

The break is up to 55, an easy black to come.

Then one red needed to leave Judd Trump needing snookers...

This has been an absolutely brilliant break considering what went on in the last frame.

The lead is 40 - seven reds remain but most are closed to cushions or tied up.

Selby develops one with a fine screw-back off the black, though.

It's becoming a better chance than it started as - thanks to Selby's hard work.

It would be ironic if he wins this match from this visit because it is far more difficult than the chance he messed up in the last frame.

Sometimes when you get chances like this you are not to expecting to win it at this visit but you just keep playing shot after shot.

This is not an easy table by any means.

Lots of reds safe.

But Mark Selby has cued a couple of reds very nicely on his way to 28 and counting...

Stalemate broken.

Mark Selby gets the white behind the yellow, snookering Judd Trump on most reds.

He goes for a powerful long shot with screw-back but balls fly everywhere - it leaves Mark Selby a chance of a mid-distance red, which he strokes in.

Can he hold himself together after that shocker in the previous frame?
