No rest for top Drog as Blues stay on track
The Ivory Coast striker was exceptional again in Chelsea’s 4-1 demolition of Championship side Cardiff in the FA Cup fifth round at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Drogba put the Blues in front with his 23rd goal of the season and laid on the second for Germany captain Michael Ballack as the holders reached the quarter-finals. The Blues were given a scare when Michael Chopra cancelled out Drogba’s opener before the interval, but Chelsea’s class told with second-half goals from Ballack, Daniel Sturridge and substitute Salomon Kalou.
