Chelsea striker Didier Drogba yesterday admitted that he DID use his hands to control the ball during his second goal. 

The Ivory Coast striker put Chelsea ahead after 30 minutes with a fine strike after turning the Manchester City defender inside out. 

Minutes later, the ball was headed into the path of Drogba, who used his hand to control the ball before slotting past David James. 

After the game, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho refused to speak to the press, so Drogba did his duties. 

"Yes, it was handball but sometimes this is the game. I don't know how to explain. The ball comes to me and I can't do nothing but this. Okay, so take off the goal I scored," explained the striker. 

Drogba continued, admitting that the win today would put Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson under pressure. 

"We are very happy to win because Manchester United are playing tomorrow so it is good to put pressure on them," said Drogba, speaking to Sky Sports.
