Didier Drogba rolled back the years with two goals as Chelsea eased the pressure on manager Andre Villas-Boas with a 3-0 victory over Valencia that sees them qualify from Group E of the Champions League in top spot.
Drogba opened the scoring from close range after just three minutes to set them on their way, before Ramires capitalised on a moment of laziness from Victor Ruiz for the second midway through the first half.
Having been set free by a glorious through-ball from Juan Mata with 15 minutes remaining, the Ivorian made no mistake to wrap up a significant victory for the Blues, one that, coupled with Genk's draw with Bayer Leverkusen, saw them win Group E.Football: Andre Villas-Boas punched the air triumphantly at the final whistle. And with good reason.
This victory had been one of Chelsea’s best performances of what has thus far been a season marked by uneven and disjointed displays from a group of players widely acknowledged to be capable of so much more.
