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.

80 mins: Jonathan Walters goes over in the box, but a trademark flamboyant Mike Dean hand gesture reiterates that if you really want a penalty, then you have to get yourself involved in a minor bit of tussling when attacking a corner.

83 mins: There will be no second hat-trick in a week for Sergio Aguero. The striker has run his race for the day, and departs with a further two goals to his name; the second currently separates the two sides. On for the final stages in his place is 19-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho.

86 mins: GOAL! STOKE 1 MANCHESTER CITY 3:

Pep Guardiola can do substitutions! On just seconds earlier, Kelechi Iheanacho demonstrated great determination to win back possession off some dawdling Stoke defenders, and then expert composure once he had exchanged passes with an alert David Silva. Having skipped around Shay Given, rather than going for goal from a tight angle, the Nigerian looked up and squared for fellow newcomer Nolito to roll the ball home at the far post. it means the three points will be heading back to Manchester!

89 mins: Manchester City belt out their new chant for Pep Guardiola to the tune of The Dave Clark Five's 'Glad All Over'. This will be interesting when they play Crystal Palace.

90 mins: There will be five minutes of injury time to be played which means five more minutes of hearing this song.

90+2 mins: John Stones is booked for no other reason than being in my fantasy team. Thanks Mike.

Sam Dymond20 August 2016 14:21

90+5 mins: GOAL! STOKE 1 MANCHESTER CITY 4:

Once again, Kelechi Iheanacho isn't the goalscorer, but his brilliance means that Nolito has a second and Manchester City have a fourth. A brilliant dummy from the teenager sent Raheem Sterling one-on-one with Shay Given, but rather than taking on the shot himself, he fed a pass to his left when the Spanish substitute was arriving to sidefoot in his second tap-in.

It's probably more than he has received from the away supporters...

Sam Dymond20 August 2016 15:31

36 mins: West Brom 1 Everton 0: The visitors have showed nothing in attack so far this afternoon, and Ronald Koeman is taking action. A surprise substitute, Romelu Lukaku is now coming on before half-time to add some much needed firepower up top for the Toffees against his former club. The Belgian replaces James McCarthy.
