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.

Manchester City moved back to the top of the Premier League but lost Kevin de Bruyne to injury in a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

In a typically frenetic north London derby, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's last-minute penalty was saved as Arsenal settled for a 1-1 draw at Tottenham.

The stalemate saw Tottenham slip 10 points behind City while Arsenal were knocked out of the top four as a resurgent Manchester United came from a goal down to claim a 3-2 win over Southampton.

Elsewhere, Brighton clinched their first league win of the year as they edged out rock-bottom Huddersfield 1-0 at the Amex Stadium, moving the Seagulls five points clear of the relegation zone.

Burnley suffered their second defeat in a week as Phil Bardsley's own goal plus efforts from Michy Batshuayi and Wilfried Zaha helped Crystal Palace clinch a 3-1 win at Turf Moor.

Quickfire first-half strikes from Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez ushered Wolves to a 2-0 triumph over Cardiff at Molineux.

Two five-at-the-back formations for Manchester United and Manchester City to deal with this afternoon, both Southampton and Bournemouth set up to frustrate.

Manchester United 0-0 Southampton, 2 minutes

Top save from Angus Gunn!

The Southampton stopper gets down low to his left and just about gets fingertips to a Romelu Lukaku effort, turning it past the post.
