  "account": "Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta warned teenager Max Dowman about the demands of elite football after the 16-year-old received a red card during Arsenal's League Cup loss to Fleetwood Town. The 85th-minute dismissal occurred following an altercation with Fleetwood defender Harrison Neal, resulting in a three-match suspension for Dowman. The suspension means the young player will miss Arsenal's upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. Following the match, Arteta emphasized that Arsenal is not in Disneyland but the Premier League and that the team expects high standards from all players, including Dowman. He dismissed any rift with the young winger, stating that he had already spoken with Dowman before the League Cup clash. Arteta was disappointed with the independent regulatory commission's decision to uphold Dowman's ban, particularly given the minimal reaction from the teenager compared to the severity of the foul by Neal.",
  "summary": "LONDON: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said teenager Max Dowman must learn to cope with the demands of elite football after the winger’s red card in the League Cup defeat at fourth-tier Fleetwood Town, with the 16-year-old having to serve a three-match suspension.",
