  "account": "Fleetwood stunned Arsenal 5-3 on penalties in a League Cup fourth round upset on Tuesday, marking one of the most humiliating defeats in Arsenal's history. The match ended 1-1 in normal time, with Arsenal's Bruno Guimaraes' penalty saved by Jay Lynch and Conor Haughey scoring the winning goal for Fleetwood. Aaron Loupalo-Bi gave Fleetwood the lead in the first half, and Viktor Gyokeres equalized after the break. Arsenal's 16-year-old rising star Max Dowman was sent off for violent conduct late in the game. Arteta's decision to make nine changes backfired as his team was eliminated from the competition. This shocking loss ranks among the darkest days in Arsenal's history, surpassing previous defeats against Bradford in 2012, Southampton in the FA Cup, and Nottingham Forest in 2022.",
