The week in review: Sport
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.IN STARK contrast to the seedy goings-on in football and the yawnsome preamble to the Lewis- Bruno fight, golf's Ryder Cup proved that sport can be wholesome. The Americans retained the Cup 15-13 but the European team can look to two failed opportunities to win in the final day singles by Costantino Rocca and Barry Lane and the failure of their big guns - Ballesteros, Olazabal and Langer - to gain a point.
ITV's World in Action had more accusations of football corruption. This time Brian Clough was in the TV dock though he has since made an eloquent denial.
On the field, Rangers conceded a last-minute goal to Levski Sofia to go out of the European Cup but Manchester United had no such problems, coasting to a 2-1 win (5- 3 on aggregate) against Kispest- Honved. Arsenal and Aberdeen went through in the Cup-Winners' Cup though Cardiff did not. Aston Villa, Norwich and Celtic proceeded to the second round of the Uefa Cup. Dundee United and Hearts did not.
Richard Webster became the first Welsh rugby union international to go to rugby league for almost three years. The 26-year-old flanker has joined Salford.
