Drogba relishing battle with Torres for Golden Boot

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 17:56

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is hoping to beat Fernando Torres in the Premier League scoring charts this season.

The Ivory international netted his ninth league goal of the season in the 4-0 demolition of 10-man Bolton on Saturday but he remains one behind Torres after the Liverpool striker also found the target against Fulham.

His best campaign to date has been 2006/7, when he won the Golden Boot with 20 league goals and ended with 33 in all competitions.

"It's nice to have this competition with Torres to finish top scorer. It's always a good challenge to be part of," Drogba told the Evening Standard.

"Three seasons ago I was in a race against Benni McCarthy and Cristiano Ronaldo and I managed to come out on top.

"It's a big challenge for me to finish ahead of Torres this season and gives me the desire to do more for my team."
