Goal.com World Player of the Week #28: Didier Drogba
Club: Chelsea
Country: Cote d'Ivoire
Age: 31
Role: Forward
Achievement: Put Arsenal to the sword with an incisive double.
A man reinvented, Didier Drogba is quickly re-establishing his credentials as one of the world's foremost marksmen.
The Ivorian forward scored his 10th and 11th Premier League goals of the season against Arsenal on Sunday to leave the Pensioners 11 points clear of the Gunners in this season's edition of the title race.
The opening goal was the catalyst for Chelsea's 3-0 victory and they went on to exercise dominance over Arsene Wenger's ailing charges.
Drogba, with eight assists, has been involved in 19 goals for the Blues in league competition this season and proved on Sunday that, on his day, he is nigh-on unplayable.
Congratulations to Didier , our 28th Goal.com World Player of the Week!
Honourable Mentions:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Barcelona & Sweden
Came off the bench to alter the complexion of Spain's Clasico by edging the Blaugrana into a decisive one goal lead. 'Ibracadabra' steered a powerful left-footed volley past Iker Casillas on a night when Barca found clear cut chances hard to come by.
Stefan Kießling: Bayer Leverkusen & Germany
The Werkself striker has done his World Cup chances no harm this season, netting 12 times in 14 Bundesliga encounters. Last weekend he put VfB Stuttgart to the sword with a hat-trick and is now the German championship's leading marksman.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar: Milan & The Netherlands
Milan were in need of something special against Catania as they struggled to break down the Sicilians on Sunday. Enter Klaas Jan Huntelaar. The Dutchman has been a maligned figure since leaving Ajax but went some way towards proving his worth to the Rossoneri with a tidy double.
