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?

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham (Morata, 30)

That's really poor goalkeeping.

Hugo Lloris comes off his line to punch Victor Moses' cross clear but the Frenchman completely misses the ball, allowing Alvaro Morata to nod it into an empty net!

37' - Spurs haven't really shown a reaction to going a goal down. Chelsea are comfortable at the moment.

40' - Christian Eriksen produces a crisp strike from distance but the effort is straight at Willy Caballero, who makes a reasonably comfortable save.

42' - Marcos Alonso comes close to doubling Chelsea's lead but his effort from a tight angle is well kept out by Hugo Lloris' left hand.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Spurs (Eriksen, 45+1)

That's absolutely magical from Christian Eriksen.

The Dane picks the ball up 30 yards from goal before sending a dipping shot into the top corner via the helpless Willy Caballero's crossbar.

Incredible strike.

Half-time - Chelsea 1-1 Spurs

The referee brings an end to the opening period and we're level at the break after goals from Alvaro Morata and Christian Eriksen.

46' - We are back underway at the Bridge!

51' - Not too much to report on from the early stages of this second half.

It will be interesting to see if Mauricio Pochettino turns to Harry Kane to try and win this game for Spurs as we approach the hour mark.

Liam Corless1 April 2018 17:09

53' - Spurs want a penalty for handball against Victor Moses but the referee rules it accidental and waves play on. 

You've seen them given, as the saying goes.
