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.

Off the line!

James Tomkins thinks he's scored for Crystal Palace against Leicester but his header is cleared off the line by Kelechi Iheanacho. Great defending by the Foxes forward.

GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Bournemouth (Tadic, 25)

A swift Southampton counter-attack ends with Mario Lemina threading Dusan Tadic through on goal and the Serb coolly slotting the ball past Asmir Begovic!

Huge goal for relegation-battling Saints.

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 West Brom (Phillips, 29)

Where was this West Brom earlier in the season?

The Baggies are on course to back up their positive results against Manchester United and Liverpool with a win at St James' Park thanks to Matty Phillips' strike!

Remember, it's still mathematically possible for them to stay up!

GOAL! Crystal Palace 2-0 Leicester (McArthur, 38) 

James McArthur doubles Palace's lead at Selhurst Park after more good work by Wilfried Zaha, who has been superb today!

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Everton (Tosun, 39)

Theo Walcott finds Cenk Tosun with a neat through pass and the Turk makes no mistake with the finish as he slots the ball past Jonas Lossl and into the corner.
