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.

Manchester City earlier swept past fellow English Premier League team Burnley 5-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, extending their run of wins to eight in all competitions. In that streak, the team has 33 goals and has not conceded a goal in the last six games — a first under Guardiola.

Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided becoming the latest Premier League casualty only by scoring in the third minute of injury time to salvage a 2-2 draw at third-tier Shrewsbury.

Wolves, who knocked out Liverpool in the third round, rested key players for the game despite not being in genuine danger of relegation in its first season back in the Premier League.

In an all-Premier League matchup, Watford won 2-0 at Newcastle, which hasn't progressed beyond the fourth round since 2006. Brighton was taken to a replay by second-tier West Bromwich Albion after a 0-0 draw.

And after Everton were stunned by Millwall, West Ham were knocked out by AFC Wimbledon. Re-live the action:

34 min: Middlesbrough 0-0 Newport

Lewis Wing is so unlucky to not give the hosts the lead, with his strike from 18 yards after his free-kick was blocked smacks the crossbar.

36 min: Brighton 0-0 West Brom

Brighton are starting to knock the door down. Beram Kayal sees his effort saved at the second attempt, before Yves Bissouma's shot goes onto the roof of the net from 20 yards.

36 min: Shrewsbury 0-0 Wolves

​Espirito Santo may just be starting to get a little frustrating. Helder Costa curls an effort from the edge of the box but it is comfortably saved.

Little to report at St James Park and Fratton Park at the moment. One shot on target so far aty the former, two shots overall at the latter.....

41 min: Shrewsbury 0-0 Wolves

All the action is at Shrewsbury at the moment, where the hosts have their first shot on target through Greg Docherty, but Ruddy and Coady combine to clear.

43 min: Man City 1-0 Burnley

The broken corner flag has been the highlight of a so-far comfortable afternoon for the hosts. John Stones tries to make it two, but can only head wide from a corner.
