Didier Drogba video: Chelsea legend loses patience with ‘over enthusiastic’ New York Red Bulls fans and almost clashes after match
Former Blues star was involved in a heated war of words with supporters after Montreal Impacts' 1-0 win in the Big Apple
DIDIER DROGBA was involved in a heated war of words with 'over enthusiastic' New York Red Bulls fans on Saturday night.
The former Chelsea striker, 38, clashed with supporters after his Montreal Impacts side were beaten 1-0 in New York.
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.
Drogba tweeted: "Congrats on your win bro @theowalcott but it is easy for the mouses to dance when the cats aren't there."
His post was in reply to a picture uploaded by Walcott, showing the Arsenal forward celebrating and captioned: "3-0"
