The decisive goal came as a result of a flukey scuff from sub Andriy Shevchenko whose mis-hit fell to our new nemesis, Didier Drogba to turn the ball in from close range at the Matthew Harding end on 74 mins. Up until then we’d more than held our own against the champions and had chances to take the lead. A commendable display, once again ruined by Drogba.
Our last success at Stamford Bridge came on Saturday November 22nd 1986, when two goals from Andy Thomas and one from Peter Beardsley helped us to a 3-1 victory in front of a miserly 14,544 fans.
