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.David Moyes suffered the first defeat of his Real Sociedad tenure after his team was beaten 4-0 by Villarreal.
The former Manchester United and Everton manager fell to his first defeat in Spain, having won one and drawn two of his other three matches in charge.
The game had been an even contest for the first hour, with the two sides locked at 0-0.
But Sociedad conceded all four in the final half hour, with an own goal from Enaut Zubikarai opening the scoring, Denis Cheryshev on target and Moi Gomez scoring twice in the final 10 minutes.
Villarreal are up to sixth in La Liga and Real Sociedad in 14th.
Villarreall, of course, are the team that denied Moyes' Everton a Champions League spot in 2005 when Pierluigi Collina wrongly chalked off a Duncan Ferguson goal.
Moyes' team next face a high stakes Basque derby with local rivals Athletic Bilbao.
