Last minute touchdowns, celebrity romances and pop royalty, ITV News US Correspondent Dan Rivers reports on the Super Bowl key moments


Kansas City Chiefs have become the first back-to-back Super Bowl winners in 19 years with a 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.

It was the second time in NFL history a Super Bowl went to overtime and the first post-season game decided under the league’s new overtime rules.

The 49ers had been leading 22-19 in overtime, but a late touchdown from the Chiefs' Mecole Hardman Jr denied the 49ers victory.
