  "account": "Arsenal demonstrated remarkable resilience at Anfield following their 2-1 penalty shootout defeat by League Cup minnows Fleetwood Town. The 1-0 victory over Liverpool provided a much-needed morale boost for Mikel Arteta's team, marking their first league win at the stadium in 14 years and a three-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table. Kai Havertz scored the decisive 16th-minute goal, with Liverpool's 16 shot attempts proving ineffective against Arsenal's formidable yellow wall. Manager Arteta praised his team's grit and determination, crediting them for a commendable performance. Despite Liverpool seeking a third league win to narrow the points gap, they struggled to break through Arsenal's resolute defense. The hosts even claimed a penalty for Jurrien Timber's handball on Alexander Isak, but Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola dismissed the call, attributing it to Isak's honesty in not diving.",
  "summary": "LIVERPOOL: If Arsenal’s title rivals thought their humbling penalty shoot-out defeat by fourth-tier Fleetwood Town in the League Cup might have shaken the confidence of Mikel Arteta’s side, Sunday’s gritty 1-0 win at Liverpool would have been sobering viewing.",
