SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Petr Cech might need a new phone number.
Cech, the Arsenal goalkeeper, commented Wednesday that he hoped Montreal Impact striker Didier Drogba wouldn’t score in the MLS All-Star Game “because for a whole year, he will text me with a picture of the goal, probably.”
Cech almost got away clean, but Drogba struck during first-half stoppage time for the MLS All-Stars' only goal in a 2-1 loss to the Gunners at Avaya Stadium on Thursday evening.
Chuba Akpom tapped home the game-winning goal in the 87th minute for Arsenal, set up by a driving run from Christopher Willock and a neatly turned low cross from the overlapping Nacho Monreal.
