Ivory coast stricker Gervinho has promised to erase the bitter memory of his country's last African Nations Cup and score the winning goal in the tournament which starts in South Africa later this month.
.
The Arsenal stricker was distraught after his failure from the penalty spot in last year's final in Libreville allowed Zambia to beat the Elephants 8-7 in a shoot-out after the match had ended in a 0-0 draw.

Gervinho had scored the winning goal in the semi-final against Mali but the Ivorians then blew their chance of becoming AFCON winners for the first time.

They also lost on penalties in the 2006 final in Egypt but this time Gervinho believes things will be different, although avoiding the stress of penalty shoot-outs will be a priority.
