Didier Drogba scores a brace as Chelsea claim top spot in Group E because of Bayer Leverkusen's failure to win in Genk.

Chelsea have finished top of Group E in the Champions League after overcoming Valencia at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Bayer Leverkusen, who were already through to the knockout stages, only managed a 1-1 in Genk to hand top spot to Andre Villas-Boas's side.

The Blues looked threatening from the start and took the lead after just three minutes through Didier Drogba.

Valencia old boy Juan Mata took the ball down before setting it for Ivorian who took one touch, sidestepped the defender and finished low past Diego Alves.

Two minutes later the visitors responded when Jordi Alba rattled Petr Cech's right-hand post before David Albelda's long-range effort was turned away by the Czech's fingertips.

Ramires punished these missed chances by doubling Chelsea's lead midway through the half. The Brazilian ran onto Drogba's pass before getting past Victor Ruiz too easily and sweeping the ball in at the near post.

Valencia made more of an impression after the break but were unable to turn pressure into goals and Drogba put the result beyond doubt fifteen minutes from time by finishing with the outside of his boot following another Mata through ball.
