The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions.

They defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in New Orleans overnight.

The win denies the Chiefs a third consecutive victory in American football's showpiece event.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, inspiring his side's comeback win over the team which beat them in the showpiece just two years prior.

Hurts completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

While Eagles star Saquon Barkley broke two records in the first half for single-season scrimmage yards, and rushing yards, all on the day of his 28th birthday.

Off the pitch, Kendrick Lamar performed the halftime show but there were boos for Taylor Swift.

The rapper entertained fans with 'Not Like Us' - his Grammy-winning diss track.
