  "account": "LONDON: Arsenal responded to Chelsea's unbeaten start with a 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium, ending the reigning champions' perfect run. Mikel Arteta's side trailed early on to Morgan Rogers' second-minute goal, but Kai Havertz equalized mid-way through the first half, and Martin Odegaard scored the winning goal shortly after halftime. The match marked a statement of intent from Arsenal, who sit second in the league behind leaders Manchester City. The Gunners' mature display against their former club highlighted their determination to win the club's first back-to-back titles since the 1930s. Chelsea's defeat marked the end of Xabi Alonso's three-game winning streak, and it underscored the need for improvement in the team's defense, which has been prone to costly mistakes.",
  "summary": "Morgan Rogers gave the visitors an early lead, but Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard secured a 2-1 comeback victory for the Gunners.",
