Didier Drogba's first goal in MLS with the Montreal Impact ran away with AT&T Goal of the Week honors for Week 27.
It was the first of what the Impact hope are many as the playoff race heats up. In fact, it was just the first (and the best) of three Drogba scored on the night as Montreal rode the Ivorian's heroics to a dramatic 4-3 win against the Chicago Fire last Saturday.
Nigel Reo-Coker crossed in a ball that Drogba took down with his right foot and, in one move, spun past a defender before rolling the ball past Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson.
The goal captured 49.53 percent of the vote this week, beating out Obafemi Martins of the Seattle Sounders by more than 20 percent.
The other three competitors, Diego Fagundez of the New England Revolution, FC Dallas' Michael Barrios and Philadelphia Union striker Conor Casey, finished a distant third, fourth and fifth, respectively.
1. Didier Drogba (MTL) – 49.53%
2. Obafemi Martins (SEA) – 29%
3. Diego Fagundez (NE) – 8.93%
4. Michael Barrios (DAL) – 6.99%
5. Conor Casey (PHI) – 5.54%
