Philadelphia Eagles thrash Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl

The Philadelphia Eagles demolished the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to clinch Super Bowl on Sunday.

The Chiefs, who were playing in their fifth Super Bowl in six years, entered the game in a bid to clinch the Super Bowl for third straight time.

However, the Eagles utterly dominated in New Orleans, in particular their defence, to break their dream.

Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sacked six times and threw two interceptions as the Chiefs’ bid for NFL immortality was ruthlessly quashed in the Superdome.

This was their second Super Bowl win. They first clinched the title in 2017.

Victory was revenge for the Eagles’ 38-35 Super Bowl defeat by the Chiefs two years ago.

This time he helped Philly put the game beyond the Chiefs and was later named the game’s Most Valuable Player.

Donald Trump became the first sitting US president to attend America’s biggest game, while Taylor Swift and Lionel Messi were among the many celebrities at the Superdome.

Yet he and the Chiefs were never in the game. They earned just one first down in the first half and that was on their very first play. Philadelphia opened the scoring on their second possession with Hurts scoring on the ‘tush push’ play which they have mastered and no team has found an answer to.
