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 and Tottenham meet in Sunday's second Premier League game and what a game it promises to be.

Both teams are in desperate need of all three points as the race for Champions League qualification hots up. Defeat today and the Blues' top four hopes could well be over but Spurs haven't won at Stamford Bridge for 28 years - can they finally break the hoodoo?

57' - Chance!

Aaron Ramsey picks Danny Welbeck out in the box but, after a good first touch on his chest, the striker volleys a shot wide of the near post.

58' - That's more like it from Arsenal!

The Gunners almost open the scoring through Mohamed Elneny but he sees his close-range effort from Hector Bellerin's cut-back blocked. The ball then rebounds back to Nacho Monreal, who brings a good save out of Jack Butland with a placed shot from the edge of the area.

61' - Alexandre Lacazette replaces Danny Welbeck for Arsenal, while Saido Berahino replaces Mame Biram Diouf for Stoke.

65' - Alexandre Lacazette finds himself in a good position in the penalty area after Mesut Ozil's neat pick-out but the Frenchman, with Ryan Shawcross rushing over to challenge him, loses his footing and the ball harmlessly trickles behind for a goal-kick.

The Frenchman is clearly lacking match sharpness after almost two months out.

68' - Xherdan Shaqiri tries his luck from distance with his notoriously-weaker right foot but the shot is tame and David Ospina makes an easy save.

70' - Woodwork!

Xherdan Shaqiri almost scores direct from a corner but he's denied by David Ospina's far post.

Not sure if that was intentional or not but that would've been some goal.

72' - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finds himself in a one-on-one situation with Jack Butland but the Stoke goalkeeper makes himself big and thwarts the Gabon international.

Moments later Calum Chambers has a good chance to open the scoring for Arsenal but his mistimed close-range effort is easily kept out by Butland.

74' PENALTY TO ARSENAL!

Bruno Martins-Indi trips Mesut Ozil in the box and referee Craig Pawson points the to the spot.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Stoke (Aubameyang, 75)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sends Jack Butland the wrong way as he strokes the ball into the bottom corner.
