Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea followed on from their Capital One Cup victory over Tottenham by beating another London rival.
But the match in the east of the city was not as comfortable as the one to the north at the weekend, with Eden Hazard's first half strike the difference between the league leaders and West Ham.
Thibaut Courtois, recalled in place of Petr Cech, had to be brilliant and was.
West Ham will wonder how they failed to find the back of the net, but poor finishing was also to blame as well as an inspired performance from the Chelsea stopper.
Here, we take a look at how the individual players rated at Upton Park.
