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.

Everton's Cenk Tosun runs with the ball 

Liam Corless24 February 2018 18:56

73' - The pace of the game has just slowed a little over the last few minutes. It's difficult to see where a winning goal is coming from right now.

Liam Corless24 February 2018 19:00

78' - A sustained spell of Watford pressure ends with Etienne Capoue lashing a left-footed shot high and wide from distance. Very wasteful from the French midfielder.

Liam Corless24 February 2018 19:04

79' - Jordan Pickford makes two really good saves in quick succession as he denies Kiko Femenia and Daryl Janmaat from close range.

GOAL! Watford 1-0 Everton (Deeney)

79' - Troy Deeney gives the hosts the lead with a superb strike into the top corner from close range after a good pick-out by Stefano Okaka.

A rare moment of quality in what has been an otherwise disappointing game.

82' - Yannick Bolasie and Dominic Calvert-Lewin replace Wayne Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson for Everton.

Cenk Tosun of Everton and Sebastian Prodl of Watford battle for the ball 

Liam Corless24 February 2018 19:09

87' - Everton haven't really offered too much of a response to going a goal down. Can they find a late equaliser or will Watford hold on for a valuable three points?

Liam Corless24 February 2018 19:13

88' - Stefano Okaka spins Michael Keane with a lovely turn before stinging Jordan Pickford's palms with a well-struck shot from distance. 

Good play all around!

Liam Corless24 February 2018 19:14

89' - Watford's Daryl Janmaat goes into the referee's book for time-wasting.
