Get out the goals and check the tables, because New England just won a pretty important fixture.

British tabloid The Daily Mail used a long web headline to let its readers know of New England’s latest triumph, a win over the Seattle Seahawks, celebrated by Tom Brady with his famous wife.

The Patriots, meanwhile, were the winners of Super Bowl XLIX by a score of 28-24. It’s a comical illustration of American football’s place outside of the United States.
