Chelsea Legend Didier Drogba Carried Off by Team-Mates in Final Blues Appearance

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba played his final match at Stamford Bridge on Sunday after announcing earlier on that he'd continue his footballing career elsewhere.

The man who sealed Champions League triumph for Chelsea from the penalty spot in 2012 and won both the Premier League and the FA Cup four times with the club was given a proper send-off.

He was substituted off during the first half for Diego Costa so Stamford Bridge could shower him with praise, and his team-mates hoisted the Ivorian and carried him off in a wonderful scene.
