  "account": "Arsenal's captain Martin Odegaard has urged the team to move on swiftly after their shocking 5-3 elimination to fourth-tier Fleetwood in the League Cup. The upset came after a 1-1 draw in normal time at Fleetwood’s Highbury ground, with Bruno Guimaraes’ missed penalty and Conor Haughey’s winner sealing the result. Aaron Loupalo-Bi’s early goal gave Fleetwood the lead, which Viktor Gyokeres equalized after the break. Odegaard replaced the manager’s 9 changes, but the visitors struggled, missing chances and received a red card to rising star Max Dowman for a late foul. Odegaard stated that Arsenal must “not feel sorry for ourselves” and improve for their upcoming match against Liverpool, the current Premier League leaders.",
