  "account": "Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard urged the team to move on after their devastating 5-3 penalty loss to fourth-tier Fleetwood in the League Cup. The Premier League champions were defeated 1-1 in normal time at Fleetwood's home ground, with Bruno Guimaraes' penalty saved by Jay Lynch and teenager Conor Haughey scoring the winning goal. This shocking upset occurred after Arsenal's 1-0 first-half victory, with Aaron Loupalo-Bi's goal putting Fleetwood ahead. Odegaard, who made nine changes to the starting lineup, emphasized that the team must not dwell on the loss and said, \"We can't feel sorry for ourselves. We need to move on — we have a big game at the weekend, so bouncing back at the weekend is all we can do now.\" The defeat leaves Arsenal in a challenging position, having drawn level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City, and now must regroup before facing Liverpool.",
