Ancelotti: Drogba angry over penalty

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Didier Drogba was furious he was not allowed to take a first-half penalty, with the Ivory Coast striker later scoring a hat trick in a 8-0 thrashing of Wigan as the team secured the Premier League title.

First-choice penalty taker Frank Lampard instead scored from the spot to give his team a 2-0 lead, but Ancelotti says he had an exchange of words with Drogba at halftime.

Ancelotti says he told Drogba it was his decision and, if there was a penalty, he should let Lampard take it. He told Drogba to be quiet because he would have chances in the second half.

Drogba scored a penalty after the break as Chelsea ensured it stayed a point ahead of Manchester United to win the title.
