  "account": "Liverpool inflicted further misery on struggling Tottenham with a 3-1 win in the League Cup third round at Anfield. Tottenham, who have had a dismal start to the Premier League season, were unable to halt Liverpool's march as they scored all three goals, with Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai finding the back of the net. Roberto De Zerbi's fourth-bottom team had not won a league match or even scored a goal in their first four games, losing twice and drawing twice. Tottenham's only win this season came in the League Cup against Charlton Athletic, but the north London club's £300 million investment in 10 new players has so far failed to produce immediate results, prompting worries of another relegation battle. Max Dowman dazzled for Arsenal in their 4-2 win over Ipswich. The 16-year-old midfielder made his mark with two goals for Arteta's young squad, including his second goal in the 47th minute, before Mikel Merino added a fourth in the 58th. Ipswich's late consolation goals from Anis Mehmeti and Chuba Akpom were not enough to prevent Arsenal's dominance in all competitions this season.",
