Earlier on Saturday, I wondered on this very site just when Major League Soccer would deem the skill and brilliance of Sebastian Giovinco an unfair advantage for Toronto FC. Just over two hours have passed since that post went live, and I find myself wondering the exact same thing about Didier Drogba.

The Chelsea legend, who now has six seven goals in six league appearances for the Montreal Impact, banged in the above, out-of-this-world free kick just four minutes into Saturday’s clash with D.C. United.

Those are the ankles of United defender Steve Birnbaum, who will never be the same, ever again. It’s safe to say the Drogba signing is working out quite alright for the Impact.
