Floyd Samba announced himself to Manchester City fans with a brace in the runaway victory at Carrow Road, capping an impressive debut performance that underlined the club's attacking prowess in the domestic cup competition.
The youngster netted twice in the dominant display as City overwhelmed their opponents across 90 minutes, with the emphatic scoreline reflecting the gulf in class between the Premier League champions and their lower-division visitors.
The emphatic win secured City's passage to the League Cup last 16, where they will face Brighton and Hove Albion in the next round. Samba's contribution suggests manager Pep Guardiola has another young talent capable of making an impact at the highest level.
The result continues City's strong form across competitions this season and demonstrates the depth of talent available to the club as they pursue multiple trophies.
