It was a sensational victory for Kansas City Chiefs as they came from behind to defeat San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl 2020 final.

Patrick Mahomes produced a staggering fourth-quarter performance to guide Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win in 50 years as they came from 10 points behind to stun the San Francisco 49ers in Miami.

With his side 20-10 down heading into the fourth quarter, Mahomes found two superb throws on third down to continue a season of comebacks as the Chiefs scored 21 unanswered points in four minutes and 57 seconds to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.

Mahomes, last year's league MVP, is now a Super Bowl MVP. He has joined Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to hoist a Lombardi Trophy before their 25th birthday.

"We never lost faith. Everybody on this team, no one had their head down and we found a way to win in the end," Mahomes, who was named Most Valuable Player, said in a TV interview as his team-mates celebrated under a cloud of confetti.

"The defence got some big stops for us and we found a way to win. Coach [Andy] Reid told me 'keep firing, keep believing' and he gave me a lot of confidence to go out there no matter what.

"The 49ers have an amazing defence, one of the best defences I've played against so far and I'm just glad our guys kept fighting. This team has heart, coach pushes us to be the best we can be. We did it baby!" [BBC]
