Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has taken the MLS by storm, netting a hat-trick in his first start for the Montreal Impact this weekend.
The Impact beat Chicago Fire 4-3 on Saturday night, and the Ivorian opened his account in the first half, levelling things for his side to make the score 1-1.
The Fire took the lead again before the half-time whistle, but Montreal managed to fight back and went into the break at 2-2.
Drogba came to the rescue again in the second half after his side had conceded another strike, drilling home the equaliser with a shot from near the edge of the area.
He completed his hat-trick in the 65th minute: his initial volley was saved by the goalkeeper, but the former Chelsea striker reacted quickest as he ran in to head the ball over the line with the keeper still grounded.
His third strike completed a perfect hat-trick – his goals were scored with the right foot, the left foot and his head, respectively.
