Chelsea through to final
30/04/2008 23:17 - (SA)
London - Chelsea will play Manchester
United in the Champions League final after two goals from Didier
Drogba and a penalty from a grieving Frank Lampard gave them a
3-2 second leg semi-final win over Liverpool on Wednesday.
The two English sides, meeting in a Champions League
semi-final for the third time in four years, had drawn 1-1 at
Anfield in last week's first leg.
On Wednesday Drogba fired a low shot into the net from an
acute angle in the 33rd minute but Liverpool's Fernando Torres
equalised in the 64th and the game went into extra time.
Lampard, whose mother died last week, wept after slotting
home a 98th minute spot kick. Drogba made it 3-1 on the night
with a clinical finish in the 105th minute before substitute
Ryan Babel pulled a goal back for the visitors in the 117th.
