Didier Drogba scored a hat-trick on his first Major League Soccer start as Montreal Impact beat Chicago Fire 4-3.

The former Chelsea striker made his debut as a substitute in a defeat two weeks ago but on Saturday he scored one first-half goal, made it 3-3 on the hour and then headed the winner four minutes later.

The 37-year-old, who signed for Montreal in July after leaving Chelsea, is the first player to get a hat-trick within his opening two MLS matches.

Drogba, who has retired from international football, remains Cote d’Ivoire all-time leading scorer with 65 goals in 105 international games.
