Andriy Shevchenko and Didier Drogba were called a ‘joy to watch’ during Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough yesterday at Stamford Bridge.

Two Drogba strikes and an own goal from Abel Xavier were enough to give Chelsea this victory.

Drogba opened the scoring when he curled in a low 20-yard free-kick.

Xavier poked in Arjen Robben’s driven ball, before Drogba added his second with a free-kick that looped in following an Andrew Davies deflection.

Drogba and Shevchenko looked lively, although they did not work as well in tandem as their rival pairing but individually, they were a joy to watch. Ukraine’s star striker created one piece of sublime trickery on the touchline to beat two Boro markers and also struck a shot from 25 yards that flew two yards wide.
