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.

52' - Huge chance for Everton!

Idrissa Gueye's cross into the box finds Michael Keane who attempts to knock the ball into the path of Tom Davies for a tap-in. However, Keane's header has a little too much on it for Davies and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.

53' - Watford's Etienne Capoue goes into the referee's book for a foul on Theo Walcott.

61' - Just 15 minutes gone in this second half but thankfully we've already had more excitement than we saw in the entire opening period. Long may it continue.

63' - Watford's Gerard Deulofeu is forced off with an ankle injury and Andre Carrillo comes on in his place.

68' - Wayne Rooney spurns a half-chance to open the scoring as he runs onto a bouncing ball just inside the area and blazes it over the crossbar. 

That's a difficult technique, to be fair to the Everton forward.
