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's hopes of a comeback after their 4-1 humiliation at Lincoln were dashed after 17 minutes of the return leg of their Coca- Cola Cup second-round tie when Gijsbert Bos scored for the Third Division side at Maine Road for the only goal of the night.
There were shocks for both Sheffield clubs. Wednesday's former player Nigel Jemson snatched an 85th-minute winner for Oxford to consign the early Premiership pacesetters to a painful exit. The sides had drawn 1- 1 at Hillsborough in the first leg. And Stockport of the Second Division won 5-2 at Bramall Lane with goals from Jim Gannon, Tom Bennett, Alun Armstrong with two and Brett Angell to complete a 7-3 aggregate win over First Division Sheffield United.
Blackburn were boosted by goals from Kevin Gallacher and Tim Sherwood at Ewood Park to make it 4-1 over two legs in their favour against Brentford.
Mikkel Beck signalled his eventual arrival in the Middlesbrough first team with a 24th-minute goal at Hereford. Phil Stamp and the Brazilian defender Branco made it a 10-0 aggregate win.
Nicky Banger struck for Oldham after 50 minutes of a tightly fought game against Tranmere at Prenton Park to break the deadlock on the night and seal a 3-2 aggregate win.
