Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted with two-goal Gervinho in victory over Southampton.

The Ivorian was played through the middle by Wenger for the 6-1 win.

Wenger said: "You know we transform all wingers into central strikers and all the strikers into wingers! I decided that during our tour of Asia when I tried to play Gervinho there against Man City in that position.

"I liked what he did and it was in the back of my mind. It is interesting because he is such a great mover and he is so quick so when he is central, once he gets ahead of the central defender it is difficult to catch him back."
