Do you believe that Chelsea assume English supremacy

Drogba assists
Ancelotti and Benítez have met twice in the final of Europe's premier club competition, winning one apiece, and it was the Italian who emerged victorious from their first Premier League acquaintance. The visitors could have gone within a point of top spot with victory but must now contemplate their third league defeat of the season – one more than the whole of last term – after goals from Nicolas Anelka (60) and Florent Malouda in added time, both created by Didier Drogba, sent the west London outfit above Manchester United FC.

Biggest away win

The Ligue 1 outfit were comfortably superior despite being reliant on set-pieces for most of their breakthroughs, with the Debrecen rearguard struggling to cope whenever Miralem Pjanić was at the controls. The talented No8 set Kim Källström up for an eye-catching finish from a corner before András Herczeg's men had properly settled and he scored himself with a free-kick shortly after, before finding the head of Sidney Govou to leave the Hungarian titleholders reeling with 24 minutes gone. Bafétimbi Gomis then pounced on over-enthusiastic goalkeeping soon after the interval to put the seal on Lyon's biggest away win in the competition.

FAMOUS HEADLINE

Wenger said this week that the Gunners took a huge gamble in appointing him in 1996, when the London Evening Standard newspaper greeted his arrival with the headline "Arsène Who?". It did not take long for those ignorant of his achievements with AS Monaco FC and Nagoya Grampus Eight to find out who he was, as Wenger led the Gunners to an FA Cup and Premier League double in his first full season in charge in 1997/98.
