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.

73 mins: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 3 HULL 0:

Three goals and three points for Tottenham at White Hart Lane! Chasing a hat-trick, Christian Eriksen had his free-kick tipped on to the post by David Marshall, but there was goal machine Victor Wanyama to convert the rebound.

78 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 3 SWANSEA 1:

The very definition of a consolation goal as Wayne Routledge nets for Swansea at the Hawthorns. The winger was on hand to convert from close range after substitute Borja had seen his shot blocked by Ben Foster. It's not worth celebrating and, to be fair, to the Swansea players and supporters, they didn't.

88 mins: GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 2:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the rescue! You just cannot keep the Swede out of the headlines for long! Paul Pogba left Yohan Cabaye on his backside with a sharp turn inside the Crystal Palace half, and then slid a ball behind Scott Dann. Rushing on to, Ibrahimovic kept his cool - naturally - and slid a fine shot beyond Wayne Hennessey from an acute angle on the left. The winner? Surely.

86 mins: GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 2 WATFORD 0:

David Silva alleviates Manchester City concerns, and Pep Guardiola's men bounce back after the weekend's horrorshow. The Spaniard swept home to seal the points after good work from Raheem Sterling.
