Didier Drogba celebrated his return from African Nations Cup duty by notching his 20th goal of the season to spare Chelsea’s blushes against lowly Hull. All eyes were, inevitably, on John Terry in his second match since allegations over his private life were made public but it was Hull centre-back Steven Mouyokolo who grabbed the limelight by heading the Barclays Premier League strugglers in front. Drogba, in his first Blues match for a month, snared a point for the table-toppers when he drilled home a contested free-kick just before the interval. Hull started confidently, winning corners on the left and right inside two minutes. Chelsea repelled them safely but Stephen Hunt’s delivery looked dangerous and the home side were assured in the opening minutes. Terry started solidly and did not appear outwardly affected by the expected round of boos and chants. Hull gave as good as they got, though, with crosses from Hunt and George Boateng both causing problems. It was, then, no great surprise when Mouyokolo outjumped a number of Chelsea defenders, Terry included, to head home Hunt’s 29th-minute corner. With three minutes to go before the break, Drogba lashed home the equaliser with a disputed free-kick from just outside the penalty area. The Blues failed to get a second and are now just two points ahead of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table.
