Chelsea Cup hero Drogba: Kalou OK after miss

Didier Drogba had a quick word to Chelsea teammate Salomon Kalou after his amazing miss in Saturday's FA Cup win.

Drogba struck the winner in the second-half after Kalou smashed a shot against the bar from just six yards with the goal at his mercy in an opening half which saw Chelsea hit the woodwork five times.

It was the worst miss since Brighton's Gordon Smith failed to score against Manchester United in the 1983 final from a similar distance.

"I just said to him to say focused because he would get a second chance, which he did," Drogba said. "Even if you miss you still have to stay focused."
