Arsenal 1-2 Galatasaray: Didier Drogba Wins Emirates Cup (PICTURES)

Drogba Returns To Haunt Arsenal

Didier Drogba scored 13 times against Arsenal for Chelsea, so it was inevitable he would return to inflict more damage upon the Gunners in a Galatasaray shirt on Sunday.

The Ivory Coast striker hit a faultless penalty and a superb winner, as the Turkish champions came from behind to defeat the Gunners 2-1 and claim the Emirates Cup.

Ever the pantomime villain in north London, Drogba won the penalty on 78 minutes in dubious circumstances, exaggerating a fall from Bacary Sagna's slight nudge.

Drogba milked his moment at the Emirates

There was nothing dubious about his humiliation of Per Mertesacker for the winner, though. The 35-year-old collected a cross-field ball from Wesley Sneijder before cutting inside the ambling German to drill his shot past Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczęsny.
