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.

Swansea 0-1 Spurs

45' - Kristoffer Nordveldt is forced into a smart stop at his near post to deny Erik Lamela after a jinking run and shot by Spurs' Argentine attacker.

GOAL! Swansea 0-2 Spurs (Lamela, 45+1)

Erik Lamela doubles the visitors' lead as he bends a right-footed shot pass the wrong-footed Kristoffer Nordveldt from the edge of the area!

A two-goal lead is no less than they deserve.

Swansea 0-2 Spurs

46' - That's great goalkeeping.

Michel Vorm does well to parry a Martin Olsson's fierce long-range drive and then springs to his left to deny Tammy Abraham's header on the follow-up!

Swansea 0-2 Spurs
