Debut delight for Drogba

AFP, MONTREAL: Didier Drogba launched his Major League Soccer career in style here Saturday, scoring a hat-trick on his first start for new club Montreal Impact in a 4-3 win over Chicago Fire. The former Chelsea striker opened his goalscoring account on 21 minutes before Chicago battled back into the contest to take a 3-2 lead early in the second half.
But two typically clinical Drogba strikes just after the hour mark capped a memorable evening for the 37-year-old Ivory Coast legend. “The crowd was amazing,” Drogba told reporters. “And, you know, this Man of the Match [trophy] that they gave me at the end, it’s for them. I give it to them.”
