Kansas City Chiefs have won the 'best Super Bowl ever' after a 'stellar' game.
The Chiefs went up against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona's State Farm Stadium in the 57th Super Bowl today (12 February).
In what was once of the most tense games in recent memory, Patrick Mahomes overcame a niggling injury to lead his side to victory 38 to 35.

It wasn't all plain sailing for the Chiefs, though.
They went down early in the first quarter, and were 10 points behind the Eagles when they went into half time.
And despite Mahomes appearing to have injured his ankle, his side came out in the second half and put in a big performance.
After tying the match with a few minutes on the clock, Harrison Butker stepped up and kicked a 27-yard field goal with just eight seconds left to win the Super Bowl for the Chiefs.
