Drogba admits charge

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has admitted a Football Association charge of violent conduct following last week’s Carling Cup defeat by Burnley, when he was pictured throwing an object at away fans.

The 30-year-old scored the opener at Stamford Bridge but faces a three-match ban for hurling the missile, thought to be a coin, towards the stands during his celebrations.

An FA regulatory commission will hear the case tomorrow and make their final decision based on video evidence and written submissions.
