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.

Loads of dancing and a field full of people. You may not like every half-time artist that plays the Super Bowl, but you have to admire the spectacle.

Brady to Gronkowski. I feel like we are going to see that a lot this half. Three catches to 87 New England are at 1st and Goal

And there we go - Gronkowski makes the catch, and they make the extra point too.

That makes 22-19 to Philadelphia

Another big broken tackle by Nelson Agholor - No. 13 brings them to the 38.
