WATCH: Former Arsenal man Gervinho red carded for stamping on player’s balls

Gentlemen, get ready to wince.

Remember Gervinho, Arsenal fans? Well, the inconsistent winger/striker/ wandering attacker is playing in the Chinese Super League and he’s still making the highlight reels for all the wrong reasons.

At the weekend, the Ivorian received his marching orders while playing for Hebei CFFC for stamping on an opposition player’s testicles. After losing possession of the ball (ah, memories), the other player slide to the floor leaving a clear path to “the goods”. Gervinho then clumsily drove his foot straight into his groin causing him to start rolling around the ground in agony.

Remarkably, after doing the disgusting act, he went on to plead his case to the referee claiming he had got the ball.

To be fair, he got two.

Pfft, he’d be doing extremely well to walk that off. That was a nasty one.
