The former Blues striker made a habit of scoring against the Gunners down the years and has joked at making a comeback to haunt them once again.
Fair play to Didier Drogba who, even after
leaving Chelsea, still has what it takes to rile up Arsenal fans. As Gunners
supporters celebrated their come-from-behind win vs. Manchester City, which
sets up an FA Cup final with their London rivals from Stamford Bridge, the man
who so often scored against Arsene Wenger's side took to Twitter:
Having been a thorn in their side down the
years, Didier Drogba has threatened Arsenal with one last hurrah for Chelsea in
the 2017 FA Cup final.
Over the course of two goal-laden spells
with the Blues, the Ivorian made a habit of netting on the big occasion against
London foes.
Drogba’s 16 efforts against Arsenal to date
have come across six competitions and for three different sides.
Drogba, now 39 and playing for Phoenix
Rising in the second tier of the U.S. soccer pyramid, scored FA Cup-winning
goals against Manchester United in 2007, Portsmouth in 2010 and Liverpool in
2012. A four-time winner of the competition, he also netted in a win over
Everton two years later.
He also scored a semifinal winner in 2009
vs. Arsenal, whose fans might just want to take a second look at the Chelsea
team sheet on May 27.
