You're never too old to bang in a classy hat-trick - well, if you're Didier Drogba that is.
The Chelsea legend is still absolutely red hot in front of goal even at the ripe old age of 38. His legs might not be the same as in his Stamford Bridge prime, but even the slightest sniff of goal and he's in. The Ivorian bagged his second MLS hat-trick in the 5-1 thrashing of Philadelphia Union for his current club Montreal Impact. It was a vintage goal-scoring performance by the veteran striker as he ghosted in unmarked to finish at the back-post for his first after a clever one-two in the build-up. He was wide open for the rebound after Ignacio Piatti's shot was parried and then the Argentine slotted a lovely ball through to Drogba for his third which he hit straight off the bat. He's still some player. https://youtu.be/WzM21YClqlQListen to our new GAA podcast with Colm Parkinson. Click here to subscribe on iTunes.
