  "account": "Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has cautioned 16-year-old Max Dowman to meet the same standards as his first-team peers after the teenager received a three-match ban for a red card in Arsenal's penalty shoot-out loss to Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup. The incident occurred in the 85th minute of the match, following a heavy challenge from Harrison Neal. Dowman had previously been sent off while representing England Under-19s against the United States earlier in the month. Arteta revealed that he had spoken to Dowman beforehand about managing provocation during the Fleetwood game, and he defended his decision, emphasizing the importance of understanding the context and their relationship. He also noted that Arsenal is not a \"Disneyland\" but the Premier League, and that every player, including Dowman, must be treated fairly and demonstrated the ability to earn their position in the team.",
