Cahill declares Chelsea icon Drogba back to very best

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill feels Didier Drogba has returned to his very best.

The veteran striker has scored three goals in the last three games for the Blues.

Cahill said: "In the last two games he is fully fit now, he's looking sharp and dangerous - exactly like he was when he went. He was massive for us on Tuesday and he got a vital goal.

"Who knows how long he can go on for? That's for the club and Didier to decide but at this moment we've started the season well and he's been a big part in that.

"What a character he is off the pitch. Obviously Diego is playing the majority of the games but Didier is getting back to match sharpness. Loic (Remy) scored but came off so to get them all back fit and scoring goals is vital for us."
