Cardiff’s Anyadike, 15, sets new EFL Cup record as youngest playerImage source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyImage caption, Noah Anyadike turned 15 less than 100 days ago.ByGeorge Rees-JulianBBC Sport Wales, Cardiff City StadiumPublished42 minutes agoNoah Anyadike became the youngest player in EFL Cup history when he started Cardiff City’s 2-1 second-round defeat against Norwich City.The Bluebirds had just completed their second season at the Cardiff City Stadium when the youngster was born – and that is where he made his debut 15 years later.Without a senior option at centre-back due to an injury crisis, Wales youth international Anyadike was handed his debut at 15 years and 98 days old.His inclusion from the start saw him break the record previously held by Harvey Elliot, who featured in 2018 for Fulham against Millwall aged 15 years and 174 days.But in a cruel twist of fate, Anyadike, who also became the youngest player in Cardiff history, hobbled off with a muscle cramp in the second half.”It was an incredible evening for him and really well deserved. We’ve been lucky because he’s still in school, so he spent so much time with us in the school holidays,” mentioned Cardiff boss Brian Barry-Murphy.Norwich beat Cardiff with Crnac winner on return
