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.When a team wins 3-0, it is not usually a goalkeeper that is awarded the man of the match honours, but that was the case today, after David De Gea's heroics in Manchester United's victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
De Gea made a total of nine saves in the game, including three each from Raheem Sterling and Mario Balotelli.
Unsurprisingly, the internet was as quick as De Gea with its reactions. Here are the best memes...
United sealed the victory with goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie, keeping them in third place, five points behind neighbours Manchester City and eight behind the leaders Chelsea.
Rooney scored against the run of play from Antonio Valencia's inviting pass to put United ahead in the 13th minute and although Mata was clearly offside as Van Persie flicked on Ashley Young's cross to him shortly before halftime the goal was allowed to stand.
