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.

Happy Sunday and welcome to our live coverage of the FA Cup third round.

Philippe Coutinho and his £142m transfer to Barcelona is the talk of football off the pitch but there's a great happening on it on Sunday with three Premier League sides in action in four more ties.

Saturday saw a shock at Coventry and a surprise at Bournemouth while Manchester City also survived a scare. What will happen next?

We will be across all the thrills, spills, goals and action throughout the afternoon right here.

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 3-2 Arsenal (Welbeck)

79' - What a blunder by the goalkeeper!

Forest stopper Jordan Smith beats Danny Welbeck to Alex Iwobi's through pass but he spills the ball, which allows Welbeck to tap it into an empty net.

Game on!

83' - Danny Welbeck wants a penalty after a coming together with Michael Mancienne. Jon Moss waves play on though and that looks like the correct decision.

84' - Penalty to Forest... again!

Jon Moss points to the spot for the second time in this half as Mathieu Debuchy brings Armand Traore down in the box!

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal (Dowell)

85' - Kieran Dowell scores from the spot to extend Forest's lead - but it's not without controversy.

The midfielder slipped while he was taking the penalty and there were suspicions of a double touch. Jon Moss spoke to the linesman to clear things up but ended up awarding the goal anyway.

There's been so much drama in this match!

89' - Red card for Forest.

Joe Worrall is shown a straight red for a reckless challenge on Chuba Akpom!

90+2' - Chance for Arsenal!

David Vaughan concedes possession deep inside the Forest half and that allows Eddie Nketiah a free shot on goal. He attempts to dink Jordan Smith but the goalkeeper gets a hand to the ball to deny the young striker.

Full-time - Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal
