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.

Huddersfield 0-0 Manchester United

1' - We are underway in West Yorkshire!

Huddersfield 0-0 Manchester United

2' - Collin Quaner has an early shot for Huddersfield but his effort from the corner of the penalty area flies across the goal and wide of Sergio Romero's far post.

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United (Lukaku)

3' - Romelu Lukaku gives United the lead!

The striker plays a nice one-two with Juan Mata before cutting inside on his right foot and beating Jonas Lossl at his near post with a clinical finish.

That's great centre-forward play.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

7' - Chance for Huddersfield!

Tom Ince is picked out in the box by Philip Billing but the attacker misses the target with his first-time finish, guiding the ball wide of Sergio Romero's far post.

Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring for the visitors in the early stages

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

11' - Huddersfield have responded really well to going a goal down early on. They've been by far the better side but still trail in the most important statistic: the scoreboard.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

15' - The visitors, despite leading through Romelu Lukaku's early goal, are being utterly outfought and outplayed here. Huddersfield look far more up for this game than Manchester United.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

18' - Juan Mata's corner finds Chris Smalling, who has time to chest the ball down in the area and set himself for a shot. However, just as the defender is about to pull the trigger he is challenged by a Huddersfield defender and the home side manages to clear the danger.

Liam Corless17 February 2018 17:50

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

22' - Huddersfield's Danny Williams drives down the right wing and towards the byline before delivering a good cross for Rajiv van La Parra, whose header is straight at Sergio Romero.

Moments later Huddersfield have another decent opening but Florent Hadergjonaj's low cross has just too much on it for Tom Ince in the penalty area and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
