Didier Drogba was the first to admit his injury-time match-winner for Chelsea over Hull was a fluke, unlike his stunning first half free kick. The dead ball strike was a replica of the Ronaldo stunner against Portsmouth two seasons ago.

Drogba told The Mirror: "I guess it was a bit like the one Ronaldo scored and it was deliberate. I tried to do it like that and lined it up to hit the valve.

"Everybody is aware of this technique now after Ronaldo and it's true that when you hit the valve the ball comes down more.

"But it is just technique - and I think his free-kick was bit better than mine."
