  "account": "Lisandro Martinez's inexplicable 83-second meltdown cost Manchester United a crucial victory against Chelsea, leaving his teammates in disarray. The former Ajax defender, who had just called out United's summer recruitment, committed two fouls within a minute and a quarter, resulting in a 2-0 deficit. Carrick, their manager, didn't spare Martinez the look of sympathy as he left the pitch. Carrick admitted he hadn't had a chance to review the incident, but acknowledged the second goal and the loss of a player had a significant impact on the game. Martinez's actions were described as \"inexplicable\" by World Cup final official Darren Cann. United's poor run of form has now reached nine games without a win in all competitions, a first since 1988-89, and they face a challenging Serie A side Roma in their next match.",
