Click an element with tag <a> using selenium

I'm a beginner in python programming so I hope you can help me.

I would like to know how can I click this element using selenium

    <a class="dropdown__list-item o__hoverable layout__box o__centers-vertically">
            <svg class="interface-icon o__standard o__standard__download-conversation" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16"><path d="M6.73 14l.97"></path></svg>
            <span class="layout__box o__flexes-to-1 u__pl__x2">
              Export conversation as text
            </span>
          </a>

Im trying using the xpath but it fails

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="popper-ember908"]/div/div/div/a/span').click()

What I'm doing wrong? it should export a txt. doc

Try changing the last part of the xpath from "spam" to "span." I think it's just a typo.
