VIDEO: Former Chelsea star Drogba scores on USL debut

Phoenix came into the night middle of the pack in the USL standings with five wins and five losses in 10 matches so far this season. 

Drogba, who signed for the side in April, is part of the club's ownership group and scored just 40 minutes into his debut to give his side a 1-0 lead over Whitecaps 2, the USL side of the Vancouver Whitecaps.  
It was a classic finish from the Ivory Coast legend, rising above his defender and powering home a header. 
Just in case that goal wasn't enough of a blast from the past, the second from Phoenix on the night was set up by Drogba, who played in former Chelsea teammate Shaun Wright-Phillips for what would prove to be the winner.
