  "account": "Chelsea fought back from a 2-1 deficit to beat Leeds 6-3 in a League Cup third-round match, advancing to the fourth round. Cole Palmer and Danny Welbeck scored crucial goals, with Palmer netting twice and Neto adding two more. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Valentin Barco scored for Leeds, but Welbeck secured the victory in stoppage time. The win marked a turnaround for manager Claudio Ranieri, who had lost his first two matches. The team, despite spending £349 million on transfers, faced defensive challenges, as seen with two players from the back line operating in midfield. Young Argentine defender Reggie Watson made his debut, becoming the fourth youngest player in Chelsea's history.",
