'Drogba the Warrior' fires Rooney warning

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has thrown down the gauntlet to Wayne Rooney, claiming he will score more goals than the Manchester United hitman this season. Rooney currently leads the way with 23 goals this season, with Drigba hot on his heels with 22 strikes despite missing almost the whole of January on international duty with Cote d’Ivoire. "I want to be the top scorer in England. I want to make sure people remember 'Drogba the Warrior' in this campaign,” said the burly Ivorian on Friday. "My absence at the African Nations Cup could end up being decisive. It gave an advantage to Wayne and my other rivals. But I warn them I shall be fighting until the very last match." Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe is the EPL’s third highest scorer with 20 goals, followed by Manchester City's Carlos Tevez (18) and Darren Bent of Sunderland (15).
