Didier Drogba enabled Chelsea to build a four-point lead over Manchester United in the Premier League title race as the Ivory Coast striker's double earned a 2-0 win at Wolves on Saturday. Drogba has been in fine fettle since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola this month and made it six goals in five matches to help Chelsea put an end to their recent poor away form and capitalise on United's slip against Everton earlier in the day.
Chelsea had only managed six points from their previous six away games, a sequence that was threatening to hand the title initiative to Sir Alex Ferguson's team, but Drogba wrestled that back in impressive fashion.
