Samuel Eto's puts an end to Didier Drogba's UEFA Champions League dreams
Chelsea
FC got the victory in their 100th home European match and
fostered their Champions League campaign with their 2-0 win over Turkish
side, Galatasaray.
It
was Cameroonian striker, Samuel Eto'o that broke former Blues
striker, Didier Drogba's UEFA Champions dream by scoring the opening
goal as they Blues secured their place in the last 16.
Eto'o
scored just 4 minutes into the game after Oscar placed the ball in
his path. Drogba was limited in his impact and his only opportunity
came in the 36th minute but his free kick against his
former side flew over and out of play. Gary Cahill sealed the deal
for the Blues in the 42nd minute with assists from John
Terry who was trying to reach Fernando Muslera.
Speaking
on Drogba's performance, Galatasaray boss, Roberto Mancini said:
'He
didn't have any chances to score and when you don't have chances it
is difficult.''
'This
was difficult and after we conceded the early goal, it was more
difficult, but it doesn't change that we played really badly and
didn't deserve anything because Chelsea played better than us'
With
Arsenal and Man City out of the picture, Chelsea have ensured that
at least one English side will make it to Friday's quarter-final
draw. Manchester United are yet to play their second leg against
Olympiacos, so it is not yet settled.
