Didier Drogba is surely proud
There are a lot of interesting father-son football stories - George and Timothy Weah, Patrick and Justin Kluivert, Abedi Pele and his sons Andre and Jordan Ayew, Alf Inge and Erling Haaland, Lilian and Marcus Thuram... One more might be on its way to be told.
Isaac Drogba, the son of Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba, scored his first professional goal yesterday, for Italian Serie D side Caratese.
The 20-year-old pounced on a clever pass following a free-kick, smashing it past the goalkeeper from close range to score the only goal of the encounter with Caronnese.
The fine finish will have made his dad proud, and Isaac clearly thinks highly of the Stamford Bridge hero. After scoring, the striker ran off to celebrate, imitating his father's famous double arm-pumping celebration.

As per SportsBible, the goal also marks a good start to Drogba's career with the Italian side. Isaac only joined the club in February, and this was his third league appearance since then.
The forward had started his career in the youth system at Chelsea unsurprisingly, before moving to French side EA Guingamp in the summer of 2019. Guingamp had released the youngster last summer, before his move to Italy this year.
As such, Chelsea fans may not want to get too excited just yet, as it will take quite a lot of hard work to get from Serie D to the highest level.

However, if Isaac Drogba were to get anywhere near Didier's level, it would mean he had had a very impressive career.
Drogba Sr is the all-time top scorer and former captain of the Ivory Coast national team. He is best known for his career at Chelsea, for whom he has scored more goals than any other foreign player and is currently the club's fourth highest goal scorer of all time.
Widely regarded as one of Chelsea's greatest players, Drogba was named in the Chelsea team of the 2010–2020 decade by Chelsea's fans. He was named African Footballer of the Year twice, in 2006 and 2009.
