Gervinho Almost Runs The Entire Pitch To Score Goal Of The Season Contender

Former Arsenal striker Gervinho scored an absolute worldie for Parma against Cagliari today, running almost the entire pitch to give his side a 2-0 lead against Caglliari.

The Ivory Coast was more renowned for frustrating during his two years in north London, managing just 11 goals in 63 games.

But life with Parma in Serie A is a little better, with Gervinho hitting two goals in four games now.

His first came in a 2-1 defeat to Juventus earlier this month and his second is one to remember as Gervinho beat a number of Cagliari players today before belting home via the post.

Seriously, how good is this?

Parma lead 2-0 in the game and that should take them up into mid table after five Serie A games.

With quality like that from Gervinho on a consistent basis, it should make for a very entertaining season for Parma supporters.

Then again, he could play like he did on the main at Arsenal and then it might not be such a good campaign.
