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.

Tottenham have the opportunity to jump into third place in the Premier League, albeit temporarily, when they face Watford at Vicarage Road.

Spurs are level on points with Manchester United in fifth but could jump ahead of Manchester City on goal difference if they win against the Hornets, with fourth-placed Arsenal to play later on Sunday.

GOAL - Giroud!

What a goal! That's stunning. A five-man break ends with Sanchez clipping a cross to Giroud and he BACKHEELS a fabulous volley in off the crossbar. For my money, that's even better than Mkhitaryan's goal for United against Sunderland.

21 mins: The Emirates seems to be collectively catching its breath after that Giroud goal - surely goal of the season.

26 mins: Allardyce's face, it must be said, was an absolute picture after that goal went in.

26 mins: Elneny shoots wide as Arsenal go looking for a second goal here.

Everyone, but everyone, is still talking about that Giroud goal...

31 mins: Arsenal are well on top. Elneny picks out Sanchez and he twists, turns and crosses but the flag goes up for offside against Monreal.

Samuel Lovett1 January 2017 16:33

34 mins: Palace are so narrow it's allowing Bellerin and Monreal to so some real damage on the wings. Sanchez goes for goal but curls his shot wide.

Samuel Lovett1 January 2017 16:34

37 mins: Palace have had a shot! It's half a chance too for Cabaye but he curls it weakly at Petr Cech. Better from Palace - they could hardly get much worse.
