Floyd Samba and Manchester City
17 September 2026
Seventeen-year-old Floyd Samba scored twice on his professional debut as Manchester City beat Norwich City 5-0 in the Carabao Cup third round. The academy forward started as a makeshift number nine and was named man of the match.
Samba opened the scoring with a flicked header before curling in his second later in the match. The son of former Premier League defender Christopher Samba had scored 24 goals for City’s under-18s last season before earning his first-team opportunity.
