Narrative:
Landing at ZZZ on [runway] xx; winds were 190 @ 10 gusting to 20. Landed and was almost stopped when a wind gust hit and spun the tail around. I hit the right brake hard to keep from groundlooping. Plane spun to the left; and because I was trying to stop the ground loop; it nosed over at the very last moment just before the plane stopped. Fuel began to spill out of the right wing tank; so I shut down fuel; closed mixture; turned key off; turned off master switch and quickly exited the plane.
