Toronto FC will be glad to see the back of Didier Drogba.
The former Chelsea striker scored two in two minutes when Montreal Impact beat their fellow Canadians on the final day of the regular MLS season, and he played a huge role as Mauro Biello’s side saw off the same opponents in the playoffs.
Montreal were 3-0 up at the break, with Canada international Patrice Bernier setting the ball rolling.

Ignacio Piatti made it 2-0, adding to his stunner against New England, before Drogba sealed victory before the break.

Drogba now has 12 goals in as many games, and has peaked late to outshine Toronto’s star man Sebastian Giovinco when it matters.
