Elephants stampede - Cote d'Ivoire 3-1 Ghana

Ten-man Ivory Coast trounced the Black Stars by three
Flattened in the African Cup of Nations Group B

Gunner Eboue saw red for a rash tackle
Gervinho’s opener adding some snap and crackle

Great assist play by Kings Road gent Kalou
Against the run of play the Ivorians make it two

All it took was a time-honoured cultured flick
Tiene curled in a glorious free-kick

Didier Drogba’s header not quite the final nail
Gyan’s spotkick did nought to dull Ghana pain

Number 7
