Samba stars on debut in Man City’s rout of Norwich
17-year-old midfielder Floyd Samba scored twice in a 5-0 win over Norwich to set up a League Cup last-16 meeting with Brighton.
Man City secured a commanding 5-0 victory over Norwich in a thrilling derby match, with debutant Floyd Samba leading the charge. The 17-year-old striker scored twice, showcasing his talent on his first outing for the team. Brazilian Allan also made an impact, netting his first goal since joining City from Palmeiras. Rayan Cherki added to the scoreline with a well-placed shot.
Despite making nine changes, Norwich struggled to contain the formidable City side. Young Brazilian Allan's goal came after a well-worked play involving Ayyoub Bouaddi, who made his debut, and Cherki. Samba's individual brilliance shone through with a well-timed curling shot into the far corner, followed by another goal just moments later.
Ryan McAidoo rounded off the scoring late in the game. With this impressive win, Enzo Maresca's perfect start to his tenure as City's coach extended to six consecutive victories across three competitions.
