Story summary

On September 17, 2026, Manchester City faced Norwich City in the Carabao Cup at the Etihad Stadium. New head coach Enzo Maresca, who had made a strong start with multiple victories, prioritized giving game time to non-regulars for this match. Key players such as Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku were unavailable due to injuries or rest policies. Teenage striker Floyd Samba scored twice on his first-team debut, leading City to a 5-0 victory. Other notable performances included goals from Rayan Cherki and Brazilian forward Allan, who marked his debut with an early second-half strike. The win secured Manchester City's place in the fourth round against Brighton.
