What happened. Floyd Samba scored twice on his first-team debut as Manchester City thrashed Norwich City 5-0 in the Carabao Cup third round. The 17-year-old's display overshadowed talk of JJ Gabriel's expected Manchester United exit.

• Samba was prolific for City's under-18s last season before Enzo Maresca promoted him
• He joined City's academy at under-nine level
• His brother Tyrone is also a Manchester City player

“To get a debut like that is mind-blowing.”

— Floyd Samba

Samba says this is 'just the beginning' after a debut that could earn him more first-team minutes.
