Blackpool defender Ian Evatt admits Chelsea striker Didier Drogba taught him a lesson on the weekend.

The Seasiders centre-back loves a challenge and the 4-0 defeat at Chelsea has fired him up even more for the rest of the season.

"Drogba was just something totally different," Evatt told the Blackpool Gazette.

"I am used to playing against strong players but you don't realise just how strong this guy is until you face him.

"At one stage in the second half, I put my whole bodyweight in front of him and he just tossed me away like I was a rag doll.

"I was thinking, 'hell, this guy's strong', but that's what he is about. He is a clever player and he isn't one of the top three strikers in the world for no reason. I think on Sunday he showed me why."
