Arsenal fans have continued to hail Matteo Guendouzi after the Frenchman’s superb moment during the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
The midfielder, who has turned out in all but two of the Gunners’ fixtures this season, committed a brilliant late foul on Wilfried Zaha, but it was his technical excellence in the first half that had plenty of fans talking.
Guendouzi picked the ball up in a wide defensive area before picking out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who failed to finish.
Gunners fan @PatrickTimmons1 shared the clip on social media on Monday, which led to these Arsenal supporters heaping praise on the youngster.
