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.

United lead the table with 68 points from 30 matches, one point more than Liverpool who had gone top on Saturday after their 1-0 stoppage time win at Fulham.

United seemed to be heading for a third straight league defeat before Cristiano Ronaldo equalised after 80 minutes.

He had also given United the lead after 14 minutes following a free kick awarded for a back pass.

In between those two goals, Aston Villa scored twice with headers from John Carew after 30 minutes and Gabriel Agbonlahor after 58.

In the day's other game, Everton crushed Wigan Athletic 4-0 at Goodison Park with two goals from Jo, and one each from Marouanne Fellaini and Leon Osman.
