Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas dismisses suggestions that Didier Drogba gave a half-time team talk during their draw with Birmingham in the FA Cup.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has dismissed suggestions that Didier Drogba gave a half-time team talk during their draw with Birmingham in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The striker, who came off the bench for the second half, was seen rallying the players in the tunnel at Stamford Bridge.

Daniel Sturridge's header after the interval was enough to earn a replay at St Andrews.

"This is ridiculous," said Villas-Boas. "I have nothing to say on that because it makes no sense at all."

Fans made their displeasure at the result known by booing the team off the pitch.
