Drogba up for title fight

Didier Drogba has warned Manchester United that Chelsea will fight all the way to the wire as they bid to win back the Barclays Premier League title.

Chelsea underlined their title ambitions by brushing aside Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium yesterday.

Drogba was on target twice in the win, which was Chelsea’s seventh in a row, to move Carlo Ancelotti’s side five points clear at the top of the table.

The win all but ended the Gunners’ chance of winning the championship and effectively made the title chase a two-horse race between the Blues and Alex Ferguson’s side.

The Ivory Coast striker is determined that his side will not lose their focus as the season enters the festive period.

“Yesterday’s win just showed that we deserve to be top of the league and I hope we will still be there at the end of the season,” Drogba said.

“But the season is a long way from its finish. There’s still a long way to go and Manchester United are only five points behind so we have to fight until the end and we are going to fight all the way to the end of the season.”
