Barnsley hit trouble
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.Barnsley's march towards the Premiership has slowed to a crawl after they were well beaten last night by a Portsmouth side still aiming for the First Division promotion play-offs.
A 4-2 defeat at Fratton Park, after failing to beat Crystal Palace on Saturday, has started to make the South Yorkshire side sweat. That pressure could become even more intense if third-placed Wolves beat Grimsby tonight at Molineux and close the gap to two points, with two matches to play for both sides.
Lee Bradbury was the hero for Portsmouth, who are now one point away from the play-off zone, with a hat-trick. Ipswich climbed to fourth place, two points behind Wolves, after a Steve Sedgley penalty earned a 1-0 win over Manchester City.
In the Premiership, Chelsea beat Wimbledon 1-0 at Selhurst Park. Dan Petrescu, set up by an astute Gianfranco Zola pass, scored the first-half winner. Zola limped off with a thigh muscle injury in the last minute, and could miss Italy's World Cup qualifier against Poland in Naples next week.
