Didier Drogba came back to haunt Arsenal in their own stadium on Sunday, scoring two late goals in a 2-1 victory that won Galatasaray the Emirates Cup, AP reported. One of Arsenal's bogeymen during his years at Chelsea, Drogba showed he hadn't lost the knack of scoring against the north London team. He came off the bench in the second half and turned a losing match around. He sealed victory in the 88th minute when he collected a pass into the box from Wesley Sneijder, dribbled past Per Mertesacker and struck the ball home. He brought Galatasaray level only nine minutes earlier when he converted a penalty after being pushed down by Bacary Sagna. Arsenal dominated play in the first half and scored in the 39th minute when Theo Walcott's cross cut through the defense and surprised goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. But they could not convert several chances, including a close-range shot that Walcott tapped wide and a disallowed goal by Sanogo, who was caught offside. Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim's decision to field Drogba and Sneijder in the second half helped his team push forward with more confidence and hold possession for longer. Arsenal's supporters in the stadium, where 59,608 tickets had been sold, showered Drogba with boos every time he touched the ball. The Ivorian international, however, seemed to feed off the energy, as though rejuvenated by memories of his Premier League glory days. Galatasaray finished the competition with nine points, ahead of Porto with six and Arsenal and Napoli with four. -- SPA 22:21 LOCAL TIME 19:21 GMT تغريد
