  "account": "MANCHESTER: 17-year-old striker Floyd Samba shined in his debut for Manchester City, scoring twice as the team defeated Norwich 5-0 in a crucial derby. Samba was among 10 substitutions made by manager Enzo Maresca, who led the side to victory over a Championship-bound Norwich in front of 10 men. Brazilian star Allan, who arrived from Palmeiras for £34 million (US$46 million), added a goal on his debut after a long time. City's defense was overwhelmed, allowing Allan and Samba to exploit gaps in Norwich's formation.",
