  "account": "On a very sad day for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta expressed his despair after the Premier League champions suffered an embarrassing 5-3 defeat to fourth-tier Fleetwood in the League Cup. The match ended 1-1 after normal time, but Arsenal lost 5-3 on penalties. Bruno Guimaraes' penalty was saved by Jay Lynch, while Conor Haughey secured the win for Fleetwood. Arteta's side had been given a big chance to move closer to Premier League leaders Manchester City, but instead they returned to north London on a low after a loss that ranks among the darkest days in the club's history.",
