Manchester City showcased their emerging talent in a dominant 5-0 victory over Norwich City in the Carabao Cup. Seventeen-year-old Floyd Samba, son of former Premier League defender Christopher Samba, was the standout performer, netting two goals on his debut. The young forward's impressive display signals a potential new attacking option for manager Enzo Maresca.
The emphatic win, which saw ten changes made to the squad that recently secured a derby victory against Manchester United, sets up a last-16 tie against Brighton & Hove Albion. The performance highlighted City's depth and the success of their youth development program, with Samba making a strong case for further first-team opportunities.
