  "account": "Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner has claimed that Arsenal's center-back duo of Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhaes might be the best in the world. This comes after Arsenal's recent victory over Forest, which was secured by a late goal from Noni Madueke. Forest's defense, particularly Konsa and Magalhaes, played a crucial role in keeping the score level until the 80th minute and then making key stops to prevent an equalizer.\n\nArsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, agreed with Glasner's assessment, stating that the win was not possible without Konsa and Magalhaes. He praised the pair's quality and physicality, noting that they had to constantly deal with Arsenal's predicted 50 aerial balls. Arteta highlighted the difficulty of being on top of every action delivered by the pair and the impact they have on the ensuing consequences. He also mentioned that the addition of Konsa has been a seamless process, despite concerns from the Arsenal fanbase about the team's ability to cope with the absence of William Saliba.",
