An entertaining contents in California was decided in the final moments of the fourth quarter as the Rams scored two late touchdowns to secure their second Super Bowl title in the history of the franchise.
Owner Stan Kroenke took to the field to celebrate the win with the Rams, who became the first LA-based NFL team to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy, much to the dismay of Arsenal supporters.
