Drogba hails Chelsea away goal

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has pointed to his side’s away goal against Benfica as the key to progressing through to the Champions League semi-finals.

The Stamford Bridge outfit was a 1-0 winner on Tuesday night courtesy of Salomon Kalou’s late effort, meaning that the club heads into the second leg with a considerable advantage.

Drogba had been criticised in the build up to the tie after a video on Chelsea TV emerged of him appearing to mock the Portuguese side when he and teammates were filmed watching the Champions League quarterfinal draw, a suggestion which was later denied by David Luiz.
