Teenager Floyd Samba enjoyed a dream first-team debut by scoring twice to help Manchester City begin the defence of their Carabao Cup crown with a thrashing of Championship outfit Norwich City.
The son of former Premier League defender Christopher Samba, the 17-year-old scored in each half as the hosts made light work of their second-tier opposition to set up a fourth-round tie against Brighton - who knocked out Manchester United on Wednesday.
