The Ivorian headed the attack in the absence of Diego Costa and was quick to grab the Blues second goal after Hazard had put them ahead.

Mourinho insists he was never bothered about Costa’s absence, as Drogba has all it takes to step in and do the job.

''Did you remember Diego Costa today? I didn’t,'' he said.

''We need Diego Costa but our mentality is the right mentality. You don’t cry about it. You give responsibility to the others and they respond in the best way.''

The Chelsea manager also admitted that Drogba’s qualities, means that after his playing career, he will have a role at Stamford Bridge.
