Noah Anyadike, 15, becomes youngest EFL Cup player

A 15-year-old schoolboy started for Cardiff and made history despite a losing night.

What happened. Noah Anyadike started for Cardiff City in their 2-1 EFL Cup defeat to Norwich, becoming the youngest player in the competition's history.

• He broke Harvey Elliott's record from 2018.
• He also became Cardiff's youngest-ever player.
• He left the pitch with a muscle cramp in the second half.

“It was an incredible evening for him and really well deserved.”

— Brian Barry-Murphy

Anyadike's debut came amid a defensive injury crisis, and he is still in school.
