Hiddink delighted with Chelsea matchwinner Drogba

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink praised his matchwinner Didier Drogba after last night's win at Portsmouth.

Drogba ran to the bench to celebrate his goal and Hiddink added: "He is very happy with his goal. He knows he has not scored many goals this season.

"It gets rid of a bit of tension. When a player is playing in that position and not scoring, then it comes to such an emotional explosion.

"If you are a striker you like to score. They live to score and to assist."
