Plaudits poured in for the Philadelphia Eagles on social media on Sunday after they vanquished the mighty New England Patriots 41-33 to win a first Super Bowl title.

US President Donald Trump, who has had his differences with the NFL during the season was quick off the mark after the Eagles, led by upstart backup quarterback Nick Foles after a late-season injury to Carson Wentz, defied the odds to deny his superstar counterpart Tom Brady a record sixth Lombardi Trophy.

“Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on a great Super Bowl victory!” Trump tweeted.
