Manchester City vs Norwich City

Manchester City brushed aside Norwich 5-0 at the Etihad to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round, with the night belonging to 17-year-old debutant Floyd Samba. The teenager, son of former Premier League defender Chris Samba, scored twice on his first senior appearance, capping the display with a curled finish from outside the box that earned him a standing ovation. Samba opened the scoring in the 29th minute before Rayan Cherki doubled the lead three minutes later. Fellow debutant Allan got in on the act just after the break (48'), assisting Samba's second (54') before netting himself, and substitute Ryan McAidoo completed the rout in the 90th minute. Norwich thought they'd pulled one back through Mohamed Toure, but it was ruled out for offside, and the visitors never managed a shot on target all night. With ten changes made, Enzo Maresca used the tie to blood young talent while extending City's winning run to six games, and they'll host Brighton next. Norwich boss Philippe Clement was blunt in defeat, admitting his heavily-rotated side were "naive" in transition throughout.
