Man City teenager Floyd Samba scores 2 goals in 5-0 win over Norwich in League
Cup
MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Teenager Floyd Samba scored twice in his
first-team debut to help Manchester City beat second-division Norwich 5-0 in
the English League Cup on Thursday.
Allan, a 22-year-old Brazilian forward, also marked his first City game with a
goal, netting early in the second half as Enzo Maresca's team advanced to a
fourth-round matchup against Brighton.
Rayan Cherki, the only City player who retained his place in the starting
lineup from Sunday's Manchester derby against United, also scored.
The 17-year-old Samba opened the scoring in the 29th, heading in a cross from
Allan. Cherki was released by Ayyoub Bouaddi three minutes later and beat
goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw one on one.
Allan made it to 3-0 with a low left-footed shot shortly after the break,
followed by Samba's second goal, which he curled in.
Another teenager, the 18-year-old forward Ryan McAidoo, came on as a substitute
and finished the rout in the final minute for the defending League Cup
champions.
On Wednesday, Brighton recovered from a two-goal deficit to eliminate United
3-2 at Old Trafford.
