Manchester City midfielder Floyd Samba scored the fourth goal in the third-round FA Cup match against Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium, where he also celebrated with teammate Ryan McAide.
The 17-year-old Samba made a memorable debut for Manchester City, scoring two goals in the 5-0 rout against Norwich, which secured the club's place in the FA Cup Round of 16 against Brighton.
Samba was one of ten players substituted by Enzo Maresca in the squad that achieved a dramatic victory over Manchester United with ten men on Sunday. Thanks to this, the 17-year-old player managed to demonstrate his capability and gain more minutes on the field.
Brazilian Allan also scored in his first match after his transfer from Palmeiras for 34 million pounds ($46 million). Additionally, Ryan Cherki coolly slotted home City's second goal.
'Norwich' also made nine substitutions, focusing on their ambition to gain promotion to the Championship, but they were completely overwhelmed even by City's bench.
Samba, son of former Blackburn and QPR defender Chris Samba, ensured his debut would be unforgettable by heading the ball after an Allan cross when Daniel Grimshaw attempted to intercept it.
Ayoub Bouaddia started at the Etihad for the first time after being acquired for 100 million euros (£86 million) from Lille and provided an assist for Cherki, who managed to bypass the attacking Grimshaw.
Amidst City's major transfers of players like Bouaddia, Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson, and Iliman Ndiaye, Allan's move was largely overlooked.
Nevertheless, he showed his potential by making a beautiful individual run and finishing the attack with a shot into the far corner in the 48th minute.
Not long after, Samba exploited Norwich's weaker defense and powerfully struck into the far corner. Another talented young player from City's squad, Ryan McAide, sealed the score late.
This victory continued Maresca's perfect start as Pep Guardiola's successor at City, bringing the total number of wins across three competitions to six in a row.
