Security guards were forced to step in as Drogba approached the rowdy pair at the Red Bull Arena.

The Ivory Coast legend - who registered just one shot on target in the defeat - eventually returned to the dressing room with team-mate Matteo Mancosu after appearing to apologise to nearby fans.

A video of the altercation was recorded by journalist Matthew Klimberg, before Drogba shed light on the situation to TVA Sports in Montreal.

He said: "There were two fans who were showing their enthusiasm a little too much.

"They crossed the line a bit, that's all."

The incident came just hours after the ex-Blues star had goaded Arsenal's Theo Walcott on Twitter, following the Gunners' 3-0 win against his old side on Saturday.
