The 18-year-old played an integral role in our 5-2 FA Youth Cup win over Arsenal at the Joie Stadium on Friday night.
The versatile forward played as an attacking midfielder for the majority of the match, scoring two goals in the first half, before being trusted by Oliver Reiss to play on the right-wing for part of the second half.
Samba brought pace, attacking threat and eye-catching link-up play in what was another convincing performance by our Under-18s who now advance to the fifth round of the prestigious competition where we will face Chelsea.
