Didier Drogba Is to Chelsea What Thierry Henry Was to Arsenal (video exclusive)

Didier Drogba once again impacted the game between Arsenal and Chelsea last Sunday. His sheer presence and power must be making the Gunners sick. Drogba scored an astonishing goal to boost his tally to 13 goals in 13 games against his North London rivals.

Drogba admitted that he loves playing against Arsenal. The game was dominated by Wenger's men but the Gunners was wasteful of several chances.

Drogba had few chances in this game, but on some occasions he simply brushed off his marker, leaving the likes of Song, Koscielny and Clichy on the floor. The Ivorian was handed a chance when Ashley Cole powered into the box and crossed in. Somehow Drogba spinned and the ball hit his back heel and into the corner of the net. There was nothing Fabianski could do about that one. 

His sheer goal tally for Chelsea is impressive. Drogba has scored six goals in eight appearance this season in all competitions. He has netted 137 times in 268 games for the Blues and is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.

Drogba's current form is making waves across the globe. No defenders like to play against him. He has built himself a reputation as a ruthless and powerful forward, an attacking nemesis, and is often referred to as the Drog, possibly a connotation to a dog. If he was a dog, he would definitely be a pitbull!

Drogba's presence for Chelsea reminds me of Thierry Henry at Arsenal. The Gunners legend was a migraine for every defender and the Frenchman could score against anybody. Henry would pull off goals that left you gasping—something Drogba is doing for Chelsea now.

Both strikers scored some crucial goals against the so-called Big Four. They were the ones deciding the outcomes of the game. When their name was missing on that team sheet, their team was in for a tough game.

Is Drogba comparable as the new Henry of the Premier League? A striker you looked forward to watching week in, week out who would leave you goose bumps. They are both complete strikers at their peak.

Here's a short video comparing the two in questions. You decide!
