  "account": "After Alexander Isak scored the winner for Liverpool against nine-man Brentford on Saturday, the striker said the team still have \"lots to improve\". Liverpool fell behind to Keane Lewis-Potter's header, but the game shifted just before halftime when Yehor Yarmoliuk received a red card for headbutting Jeremy Jacquet. Victor Munoz equalized for Liverpool before Isak's fifth goal of the season, coming after he returned from injury. Despite the victory lifting Liverpool into fifth in the Premier League, just two points behind second-placed Arsenal, coach Andoni Iraola expressed frustration with his team's handling of the final minutes. Iraola noted that the team lacked composure with the ball and didn't manage the end of the game well, especially after Isak's 70th-minute winner.",
