Didier Drogba was delighted with his role in Chelsea's crucial 1-0 win at QPR today.

The 36 year-old striker was handed a rare start today and played his part in a crucial triumph for the Premier League leaders.

On Cesc Fabregas' late winner, Drogba said: "Yeah, I always thought it would come. You have to believe and this team fights to the end.

"It was a tough game, but the good thing is that in this team the goals can come from anywhere."

On his recall, Drogba added: "It was good. I'm always available for the team and I'm really happy, really happy I could help today."

On their looming games against Manchester United and Arsenal, the striker said: "Oh, they're games we have to win.

"We've been top of the league from the beginning and we're playing at home so we'll be going for the win. Like always."
