Super Bowl 2018: Updates from Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots - as it happened
All the live action from the US Bank Stadium as it unfolded
The Philadelphia Eagles have beaten the New England Patriots 41-33 to claim their first Super Bowl win.
In a record-setting shootout between Nick Foles of the Eagles, and Tom Brady, the Eagles backup quarterback led a pressure-packed 75-yard drive to the winning touchdown, 11 yards to Zach Ertz with 2:21 to go.
“If there's a word (it's) called everything,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “That's what it means to Eagles fans everywhere. And for Eagles fans everywhere, this is for them.”
“I felt calm. I mean, we have such a great group of guys, such a great coaching staff,” Foles - who won the game's Most Valuable Player award - said. “We felt confident coming in, and we just went out there and played football.”
The Patriots were looking to win back-to-back Super Bowls, after their stunning comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons last year.
The Eagles, meanwhile, headed into the game having been crowned NFC champions following a dominant 38-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
