  "account": "Arsenal's 16-year-old winger Max Dowman saw red during a last-16 tie against Fleetwood Town, marking his first senior red card. The teenager, who has only started twice this season, scored twice in a 1-1 draw before being dismissed. Manager Mikel Arteta was visibly frustrated, confronting Dowman as he left the pitch. Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson suggested Dowman's reaction was a result of frustration due to poor performances and lack of playing time. Fleetwood's win, which came despite being 84 places below Arsenal in the football pyramid, was seen as a significant upset.",
