  "account": "Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed his team's 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday as evidence that they can surpass last season's title-winning model. Goals from Kai Havertz and captain Martin Odegaard, following Morgan Rogers' opening strike, secured Arsenal's third win in three games. Arteta praised the team's performance, calling it exceptional and enjoyed every minute of it. The manager highlighted the conviction, determination, and quality displayed by the players, and expressed confidence in their ability to perform at an even higher level. Odegaard, who has had a difficult time due to injuries last season, was particularly impressive, showing signs of returning to his best form. Arteta noted that the chemistry between Odegaard, Havertz, and Bukayo Saka was remarkable, suggesting that the team has the potential to be even more formidable. Meanwhile, Chelsea's new manager Xabi Alonso faced his first setback, conceding seven goals in three matches, and acknowledged the need for improvement in defense.",
