Gervinho’s Explosive 90-Yard Run And Incredible Finish Is The Goal Of The Weekend

Fresh from his stint in the CSL with Hebei China Fortune, former Arsenal and Roma winger Gervinho appears to be loving life back in Italy with Serie A side Parma. After scoring against Juventus back on Sept. 1, the Ivory Coast flyer registered his second of the season Saturday in Parma’s 2-0 win over Cagliari. 

After gaining possession just outside his own box, Gervinho tore off on a scintillating solo run — riding two tactical fouls that attempted to stop his own interpretation of Maradona’s Goal of the Century — before using the right analog stick and sprint trigger to absolutely decimate the final defender.

Gervinho still had a lot to do at this point, so just check out the finish.
