Legends last forever."Drogba is revered after an eight-year first spell which yielded 157 goals in 341 appearances and which concluded with the memorable Champions League win in Munich three years ago.His season-long second spell has been less fruitful, but he has claimed the Capital One Cup and a fourth Premier League title, Chelsea's first in five years.Drogba captained the Blues in an emotional selection, with Eden Hazard fit to start despite requiring emergency dental surgery during the week.The Belgian dazzled once more as he, along with Branislav Ivanovic and John Terry started all 38 of Chelsea's league games.Terry completed the Sunderland clash to become only the second outfield player to play every minute in a Premier League season and win the title, after Manchester United's Gary Pallister in 1992-93.Sunderland were immediately under pressure as Vito Mannone punched Willian's free-kick clear under pressure from Ivanovic and then saved as Drogba tried to divert Juan Cuadrado's cross in.There were times when Cech - displaced by Thibaut Courtois after a decade as number one - showed his class, but whether a move to rivals Arsenal or Manchester United is permitted remains to be seen.He saved from Sebastian Larsson and Jermain Defoe before being beaten by Fletcher's header after Johnson's corner evaded Terry at the back post.Drogba departed, but was soon left to rue not staying on for a few more minutes as Cuadrado was felled by John O'Shea
Costa converted the penalty.Cuadrado then hobbled off with Remy on in his place, before Cech denied Defoe again.Hazard played a key role in Chelsea's second, bursting forward before finding Remy, whose shot squirmed under Mannone.Fletcher headed wide as Sunderland sought a quick-fire reply, but it was Chelsea who scored next as Nemanja Matic's cross was tucked in at the near post by Remy and the celebrations began in earnest
