Finding the maximum of various sum of values in mysql

Question

I have a table with values as shown

Player   ||   Match     ||   Score

 A              1               72
 B              1               55
 A              2              100
 C              1               90
 B              2              175

I wish to obtain the player name who has scored maximum runs(sum of his scores in all the matches) in this table.

How can this be done in efficient way in mysql

Thanks
