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.

Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: Couthino comes close to a late winner, but it is just wide. Still feels like there might be a late goal in this one.

Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: We're approaching the end of normal time, as Spurs have a free kick just outside the area, but Eriksen fires it wide. Wasted opportunity.

Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: Three minutes to be added on, Spurs have a corner. They can't convert from it though. Meanwhile Milner is going off and Jordan Ibe is coming on for Liverpool.

FULL TIMELiverpool 1 Tottenham 1 - Probably a fair result in the end although both sides could have scored a couple more. Tottenham can't make up any substantial ground on Leicester.
