Allan then marked his first start for Manchester City with a goal in the 48th minute, finding the bottom corner after another assist from Rayan Aït-Nouri. Samba added his second in the 54th minute before Ryan McAidoo completed the scoring in the 90th minute.

Softfootball reports that the result further extends Manchester City’s positive momentum after their recent 1-0 victory over Coventry City, where Erling Haaland reached 300 career club goals. The latest win also gives City three consecutive victories as they continue to build momentum.

City controlled the game with 66% possession and limited Norwich to just two shots off target, while the visitors failed to register a shot on target.
