Chelsea striker Didier Drogba insisted that he was delighted after Fernando Torres opened his goalscoring account, following a run of 14 games without a goal.

With reports circulating that the Ivorian forward was disgruntled following the signing of the Blues’ £50 million striker, Drogba revealed that he wanted to join in with his team-mates celebrations after the Spaniard scored the second of Chelsea’s three goals in a victory over West Ham.

“I was in the changing rooms but just wanted to run and jump as well,” he told ESPN.

“We know we have a great player here.”

“It is very difficult to come in in February and get used to the team. It is important for him and for the club that he is here since January and I think it will all be fantastic for him.”

Chelsea’s victory came after Manchester United extended their lead at the top of the table following their win over Everton at Old Trafford.

And Drogba conceded that, for the moment, his side needs to focus on claiming second place in the league, while admitting that they knew West Ham posed a difficult challenge despite finding themselves at the bottom of the table before kick-off, following Wolves’ 1-1 draw with Fulham.

“It is always difficult to play against themWest Ham and of course the weather was not great for playing football but the most important thing was to win as well as the three points.

“They Manchester United got a 1-0 win. I think at the moment we have to focus on the second place and going ahead of Arsenal, that is the first step, so we will see what happens in the next few games.”
