MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (AFP) — Floyd Samba enjoyed a dream Manchester City debut as the 17-year-old struck twice in a 5-0 thrashing of Norwich to set up a League Cup last-16 meeting against Brighton.
Samba was one of 10 changes Enzo Maresca made to the side that won a dramatic derby against Manchester United with 10 men on Sunday and the 17-year-old made his case for more minutes going forward.
“To get a debut like that is mind-blowing. I couldn’t believe it myself,” said Samba, the son of former Blackburn and QPR defender Chris Samba.
