  "account": "Newcastle secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Millwall at The Den, advancing to the League Cup fourth round thanks to Joe Willock's late goal. Millwall nearly trailed during the final stages when striker Tairyk Arconte's shot struck the post. The Magpies capitalized on this narrow escape, with Willock converting Lewis Hall's low cross into the far corner after it deflected off the ball. Millwall made a late substitution, bringing on 15-year-old Regan Anderson, but Newcastle held on to keep their League Cup hopes alive. New manager Matthias Jaissle's side have remained unbeaten in five matches across all competitions under his leadership. Elsewhere, Chelsea will face Leeds in the third round, while current champions Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool will play their ties next week.",
  "summary": "Joe Willock's late goal sealed a bruising 1-0 win after Matthias Jaissle's side came inches from falling behind in the closing stages.",
