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.Despite Chelsea and Liverpool going head-to-head in a classic encounter last night, the away goals rule for tonight's match between Sheffield United and Tottenham Hotspur will be slightly different.
Unlike in the Champions League, the away goals rule comes into play after extra-time has been played. Of course, the game has to end in level on aggregate.
Because of the 1-0 score-line at White Hart Lane extra-time will only come into play if Sheffield United beat Spurs by a margin of one goal. Any goal for Spurs means penalties will be avoided.
An extra period will then be played and the away goals rule will then come into play if the aggregate score is level after 120 minutes. Penalties will only come into play if the game ends 1-0 to Sheffield United after extra-time (1-1 on aggregate).
For example, if Sheffield United win 1-0 the game will then go to extra-time. If no further goal is scored the game will go to penalties. If both teams score in the extra 30 minutes then Tottenham will go through on away goals.
