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.

Brighton snatched a point with a stoppage-time penalty.

Referee Anthony Taylor adjudged Duffy to have been fouled by James Ward-Prowse and Glenn Murray made no mistake from the spot to force a 2-2 draw.

Re-live all the action below:


A stalemate on the South Coast, but that second-half was anything but stale.

The first half was a rather drab affair lit up by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's superb low strike from 30 yards out, but the game came to life after the interval.

Danny Ings put Southampton firmly in the driving seat with a calmly-taken penalty after he was fouled, but Shane Duffy's swift reply gave Brighton renewed energy.

Chris Hughton's side looked a danger from set-pieces throughout and both their goals came via Duffy, the first a header from a lovely whipped ball by Anthony Knockaert and the second coming after the defender was adjudged to have been pulled down late on.

Glenn Murray stepped up to score his 98th Brighton goal and for the second game in a row the Seagulls have secured a draw after falling two goals behind.
