Nick Foles' trick play touchdown in Super Bowl LII

Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a superb play to allow Foles to walk in for a memorable touchdown

Philadelphia's Nick Foles ran in for one of Super Bowl's most memorable trick play touchdowns after New England and Tom Brady had fumbled a similar attempt.

As a first half full of offensive action drew to a close, the Eagles reached deep into the playbook for their third score of the game - and it was a move that could have been copied from their opponents.

Corey Clement's 55-yard gain set the Eagles on their way in a drive which culminated in one of the greatest trick plays in Super Bowl history.

Recap the drama at it unfolded in Minnesota

On fourth-and-one, the Eagles snapped the ball to running back Corey Clement. Clement then flipped the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who then turned quarterback to throw the ball up for Foles to walk in for a touchdown and a 22-12 half-time lead.

The score made Foles the first player in NFL history to throw and catch a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl - but Brady could have had similar himself had he not dropped a pass from Danny Amendola earlier in the half.
