  "account": "Brighton's Diego Gomez struck a Beckham-esque goal, reminiscent of David Beckham's legendary strike for Manchester United against Wimbledon in the 1996-97 season. Collecting the ball just inside Crystal Palace's half, Gomez advanced to the halfway line and unleashed an unstoppable shot that sailed over goalkeeper Walter Benitez and into the net in the seventh minute. This stunning goal not only put Brighton 2-0 up against their rivals but also reignited memories of one of English soccer's most iconic goals, which catapulted Beckham to international stardom.",
