Didier Drogba Top 10 Goals HD
Signing for Chelsea in July 2004 for £24 million,[26] Drogba scored in his third game for the club with a header against Crystal Palace.[27] His season was interrupted when he pulled a stomach muscle against Liverpool which kept him out of action for over two months.[28] Chelsea won the Premier League, only their second English top-flight championship and their first in 50 years,[29] and the League Cup. Later, Drogba scored in extra time in a 3–2 final win against Liverpool at the Millennium Stadium, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Drogba scored a somewhat disappointing 16 goals in a total of 40 games for Chelsea in his first season: ten in the Premier League, five in the Champions League and one in the League Cup final.[30]
Drogba started the 2005–06 season by scoring two goals in a Community Shield win over Arsenal. His reputation was marred amidst accusations of cheating during Chelsea's 2–0 win over Manchester City. Replays showed that he had used his hand to control the ball before scoring the second of his two goals.[31] This occurred just a week after a similar incident against Fulham where the goal was disallowed.[32] Chelsea went on to retain the league title with two games to play, becoming only the second club to win back-to-back English titles in the Premier League era.[33] Again Drogba finished with 16 goals for the season, 12 in the Premier League, two in the Community Shield, one in the Champions League and one in the FA Cup.[34]#Drogba#best#goals
