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.Steven Gerrard now has a maximum of just five Premier League games left after he was sent off for a stamp on Ander Herrera immediately following a strong tackle on Juan Mata in Liverpool's match against old rivals Manchester United at Anfield.
The Liverpool captain came on as a substitute in the game, and lasted just 38 seconds before his dismissal for the stamp by referee Martin Atkinson.
It was Liverpool's 50th red card in Premier League history too.
The 34-year-old Gerrard will move to the MLS in the summer to play for Los Angeles Galaxy.
Liverpool needed a win to overtake rivals United in the race for a Champions League spot but will now be without the former England captain for the next three games after the straight red card.
Juan Mata put the Red Devils ahead with a neat finish in the first half before scoring a wonderful overhead kick later on to deepen Liverpool's misery.
Daniel Sturridge later reduced the deficit for Liverpool after a well-worked move, but his effort was in vain, the home side lost 2-1.
