With Fernando Torres relegated to the bench, Didier Drogba put in a great performance for Chelsea FC as they defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-1 on Saturday afternoon. The Blues are out of Champions League and almost certainly out of the title race, but their win will go a long way towards securing Champions League football next season.
West Bromwich Albion Vs. Chelsea FC: Didier Drogba Powers Blues To Win
Peter Odemwingie opened the scoring for West Brom on the 17th minute, bringing out a “the sky is falling” attitude from some of Chelsea’s less optimistic fans. However, their fortunes quickly changed, and they scored three goals between then and the halftime whistle.
Drogba scored Chelsea’s opener in the 22nd minute, following an error by Scott Carson and a poor clearance by Nicky Shorey that fell right to Drogba for him to finish. Drogba had a hand in the second goal as well, as he took a 25 yard shot in the 26th minute that was saved by Carson, but his save fell right into the path of Solomon Kalou, who finished the chance. Drogba and Kalou both had a hand in the third goal as well, as Drogba dispossessed Chris Brunt and passed to Kalou, who set up Frank Lampard for the game’s final goal.
