Premier League: Gervinho inspires Arsenal to 4-1 win over Reading
Saturday 30 March 2013 19:24, UK
Gervinho was the inspiration as Arsenal strolled to a comfortable 4-1 win over struggling Reading at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking after the match, Wenger was full of praise for Gervinho, who was starting his first Premier League game since December. "He is what you want from a striker, dangerous, he scored and gave assists," said Wenger. "The only regret is that he had a few more chances to score, but you cannot fault his performance today, he was absolutely outstanding." Reading boss Adkins is keen to move on from defeat in his first game, with his former club Southampton his new team's opponents next weekend. Adkins said: "We'll analyse the game, we'll learn the lessons from it, debrief it on Monday and Tuesday and then we'll get ourselves ready for the next game, I think that is the most important thing we've got to go and do now."
