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.

STAR MAN

Kolo Toure - The veteran defender was a leader at the back and put in a commanding performance, but it was not the player Liverpool would have wanted to have had the best performance.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

Daniel Sturridge's fluffed shot from six yards out early in the second half. A striker of his quality should have buried it.

VIEW FROM THE BENCH

Klopp, still less than two weeks after an operation to remove his appendix, was a less animated and visible figure than usual. He had few game-changers among his substitutes and could possibly have given Jordon Ibe longer than nine minutes.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

The lack of genuine chances a virtually full-strength side created against a team struggling in the Bundesliga.
