Benjamin Mendy is going to be a lot of fun, this season.
Following his £52 million transfer from AS Monaco, Mendy made his Manchester City debut at Bournemouth. And his Premier League debut got off to a great start as City clinched a dramatic late winner.

The visitors went behind courtesy of a superb strike from Charlie Daniels. Though they leveled when Gabriel Jesus converted after David Silva provided an exquisite pass.
Then with the game heading deep into stoppage time, Raheem Sterling popped up to secure three league points with the players going apeshit as they celebrated with the traveling fans.

Sterling was subsequently shown a second yellow card for his overly passionate celebration with other teammates getting caught amongst the mayhem.
Including Mendy. The French defender is pictured tangling with a copper amid celebrating the goal. And following the game, he's uploaded the very picture with a brilliant caption.
"When you still havent paid for that cheeky Nando parking fine."
Prior to making his City bow, the 23-year-old made headlines for dipping into Nando's where he received a parking fine for leaving his motor in a Taxi rank in the city center.
Meanwhile, Mendy won't be back in action for at least a week with the International fixtures set to take center stage with the player omitted from the national team.

Though he'll be hoping to maintain his left-back spot when they host Liverpool in two weeks time.
