  "account": "Exeter City's young squad has been praised for their energetic performance as they secured a memorable 2-1 victory over League One leaders Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup. The team, which were relegated to the fourth tier in May, continued their impressive form in the cup competition. Manager Matt Taylor hailed the team's exuberance and energy, expressing his happiness for everyone involved. The late goal by Charlie Cummins sealed the win after Jack Taylor had opened the scoring. Taylor emphasized that the team's youth did not hinder their performance, highlighting their bench strength despite the absence of key players. This win marks the team's eighth advance beyond the first round in the past decade. Huddersfield had previously thrashed the Grecians 10-1 at the Etihad Stadium the previous year, but Taylor believes that this win demonstrates the team's growth since the start of the season. The victory also showcases the club's potential moving forward, as they have recently moved up in the standings despite a challenging start to the season.",
