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.Diego Costa responded to a £2 coin being thrown in his direction during Chelsea's 2-0 Capital One Cup final win over Tottenham on Sunday by picking it up and then slipping it inside his shorts for future use.
The Brazil-born Spain international is not a popular player among opposition fans due to his bustling style up front. He only recently returned from a three-match ban for stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can.
Instead of confronting the fans or getting riled, Costa tucked the coin into his shorts - it's enough to buy a Diego Costa air freshener from Chelsea's official club shop.
The 26-year-old played a key role in Chelsea's second goal, his shot inside the area deflecting off Kyle Walker to give the Blues a 2-0 lead in the 56th-minute.
Captain John Terry had earlier put Chelsea ahead on the stroke of half-time with a close-range strike from a corner.
