This is a great moment for Guendouzi, coming off the back of a brilliant performance against Tottenham in the derby.
The young midfielder has been pushing for a senior call-up for some time, but now it has finally arrived.
It tops off an impressive start to the campaign for Guendouzi, who has been ever-present in the middle of the park.
With Paul Pogba out of the squad through injury, there is a bit of luck on his side this time around. However, this could be a real coming of age moment for the player as he tries to prove himself at the very top.
