Drogba injury mars Chelsea triumph

MICHAEL OWEN’S injury-time winner for Manchester United may well have been yesterday’s iconic picture of the day but Didier Drogba being carried off during Chelsea’s impressive 3-0 victory over Tottenham could have even bigger implications for the title race.

Chelsea returned to the top of the table in ruthless and ominous style, even if they also had a little bit of help from referee Howard Webb, who turned down a strong penalty shout from Tottenham’s Robbie Keane with the score still 1-0.

But Drogba’s injury after 85 minutes could overshadow it all and Tottenham have their own problems after Ledley King and Sebastien Bassong followed suit to leave their defence decimated.
