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.

In the week that he declared his international career was over, Gianluca Vialli scored his third goal in two matches to give the champions, Juventus, a 1-0 home win over Vicenza yesterday.

Vialli found the net in the 21st minute to maintain his side's 100 per cent start to the Serie A season, but they struggled to find top form against their newly promoted visitors.

In a remarkable comeback, Lazio fought back from 3-1 down with just 10 men after the 43rd-minute dismissal of their defender Guerino Gottardi. They left Bari, for whom Igor Protti struck a hat-trick, with an unlikely 3-3 draw. Protti, with five goals in three games, is the division's top scorer.

Napoli, who were near to bankruptcy in the close season, continued their revival with a 3-1 victory at previously unbeaten Atalanta.

Sampdoria's dreadlocked Frenchman, Christian Karembeu, found the net twice in his side's impressive 3-0 win over the pre-season title favourites, Parma, for whom the Bulgarian Hristo Stoichkov earned his first Serie A booking - for handing the ball to the referee rather than an opponent.
