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.Chick Charnley dug into his box of tricks yesterday to help rescue a point for Hibernian at Dundee United. The much-travelled midfielder, who has scored two spectacular goals already this season, this time turned provider.
United had been reduced to 10 men when Maurice Malpas was sent off in the 67th minute for trampling on Jean-Marc Adjovi-Boco, his second bookable offence. Then, 10 minutes later, Charnley set up the equaliser after Robbie Winters had opened the scoring with a close-range shot in the 22nd minute after Brian Welsh had failed to cut out a Steve Thompson cross.
United's goalkeeper, Sieb Dijkstra, was penalised by the referee, John Rowbotham, for holding on to the ball for more than six seconds. Brian Grant touched the ball to Charnley inside the penalty area, the United defence were expecting a shot but Charnley cleverly played a reverse pass to Paul Tosh, and he drilled the ball beyond Dijkstra and in to the far corner of the net.
Goals: Winters (22) 1-0; Tosh (77) 1-1.
