Manchester City thrash Norwich 5-0

Manchester City dominated the League Cup tie from start to finish, putting five goals past Norwich in a relentless attacking display.

Maresca used the match as an opportunity to rotate his squad and give valuable first-team minutes to several academy prospects and summer arrivals.

City’s youngsters took full advantage of the opportunity, controlling possession, pressing high up the pitch and consistently creating openings.

Alongside Elias’ spectacular effort, Floyd Samba also caught the eye with a brilliant goal as City completed a comfortable 5-0 victory.
