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.Nantes head a group of four clubs on maximum points at the top, though their goal difference, 5-0, is the best. Paris St-Germain extended their promising start with a 1-0 win at Sochaux on Saturday through a second-half goal from the former West Ham midfielder Edouard Cissé . Bordeaux beat Nancy 1-0, also on Saturday, with a goal from the Morocco striker Marouane Chamakh, and last night Gérard Houllier's Lyon were added to the leading group when a 26th-minute strike from John Carew saw off Strasbourg.
Auxerre had an upset 2-0 away victory over Monaco, and Marseilles slumped to their second defeat in two matches, 2-0 at Lens.
Bayer Leverkusen hit the ground running in the Bundesliga yesterday, winning 4-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt. Dimiter Berbatov, Andrei Voronin, Bernd Schneider and Jacek Kryznowek got the goals.
Schalke beat Kaiserslaut-ern 2-1, courtesy of Mladen Krstajic's late winner. Others off to a flier were Werder Bremen, who beat Arminia Bielefeld 5-2. Hamburg, boosted by new signing Rafael van der Vaart, dispatched Nuremberg 3-0.
