      • 2012, September 15, Amy Lawrence, Arsenal's Gervinho enjoys the joy of six against lowly Southampton, The Ivorian is a player with such a liking for improvisation it does not usually look like he has any more idea than anyone else what he is going to do next, so it was an interesting choice.
