  "account": "Danny Welbeck scored his first goal for Chelsea in the 35-year-old's debut match as Enzo Fernandez was left out of the starting lineup. Welbeck headed the ball home from close range in the first half, and later Hakeem Odoffin diverted an attempted clearance into his own net. Fernandez, who has held talks with Manchester City, was substituted in the previous match and did not play this time. Chelsea dominated the match, while Luton goalkeeper Josh Keeley made several impressive saves. Luton's Benny Benagl and Odoffin had chances through set-pieces, but neither could trouble Chelsea's goalkeeper Mike Penders on his debut. The win came in Xabi Alonso's first competitive home game as Chelsea manager, and the club agreed a £7.5m fee with Aston Villa for goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez before the match.",
