  "account": "Como stunned Lens in the Champions League with a record-breaking 9-1 victory on Wednesday. Italian club Como, coached by Cesc Fabregas, equalled the modern UEFA Champions League record for the biggest winning margin, matched only twice previously in competition history. Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick in the game. Douvikas opened the scoring in the seventh minute and added another in the second half. Nico Paz and Lucas Da Cunha both found the net before halftime, while Marc-Oliver Kempf and Mattia Liberali scored additional goals after the break. Despite Lens' best efforts, including a late volley from Ruben Aguilar, they were unable to stem Como's dominance. Como, who finished fourth in Serie A last season to secure their Champions League debut, now sits fourth in the overall standings, just three points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.",
