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.

Aston Villa 0 Chelsea 1: Then again maybe not, Villa come close as Baba makes a bit of a meal of clearing the ball and nearly causes an equaliser.

0 - Aston Villa have not won a Premier League game this season after conceding first (D4 L19 before today). Uphill.

Aston Villa 0 Chelsea 1: Chelsea launch a lovely counter attack that ends when Kenedy's attempts to buy a cheap free kick are turned down. Then Ayew comes close of Villa, but his placed effort is just wide of the far post. Five minutes or so left in the half.

Aston Villa 0 Chelsea 1: Ooof, Loftus-Cheek comes close to a second, nearly curling a low shot into the corner of the net, but it's just wide.
