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.Eden Hazard is a difference maker for Chelsea, according to Southampton manager Ronald Koeman who praised the Belgian’s performance in the 6-0 win against Maribor.
Koeman, who won the European Cup twice as a player with PSV and Barcelona, praised the 23-year-old who scored twice for the Blues in an easy Group G win.
“Hazard is playing on a very high level,” Koeman said on Sky Sports.
“You can compare how he is playing with Neymar and Luis Suarez because he made the difference.”
Jose Mourinho may have to start with third-choice striker Diego Costa on Sunday at Manchester United after Loic Remy joined Diego Costa on the treatment table.
Koeman added: “Chelsea have a good defence and are physical in midfield but if Costa comes back in a good physical state, he will make the difference as [Didier] Drogba is respected but not what he was.”
