  "account": "Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Savio scored his first goal for the club in their 5-1 victory over Charlton in the second round of the League Cup. The win secured Tottenham's advancement to a third-round tie against Liverpool. Manager Roberto De Zerbi challenged Savio to hit double figures for the season, remarking that the Brazilian winger initially joined the team for a reported initial fee of £75 million from Manchester City. Late in the first half, Savio and Mikey Moore scored within four minutes of each other to give Tottenham a commanding lead. Kevin Danso added to the score with his first touch in the 67th minute. In the 82nd minute, Savio scored his second, piling on the pressure for the home side. De Zerbi praised Savio's performance, hinting that the player could break the 10-goal target set for wingers. Charlton did manage a consolation goal with Lloyd Jones heading in from a corner.",
