Drogba celebrating his goal with team-mate
He scored 15 goals against the Gunners in his Premier League career.
Petr Cech admitted before the showpiece game in San Jose, California, on Thursday that if Drogba added to that remarkable record he would be on the receiving end of abuse for a whole year.
The Czech keeper might want to change his mobile number because Drogba went and did it again.
Arsenal had started brightly and opened the scoring with a penalty earned and put away by Joel Campbell.
But on the stroke of halftime the MLS legends clicked into gear, Giovani Dos Santos playing in Drogba inside the six yard box.
The former Chelsea man needed three attempts after pass from team-mate Giovani Dos Santos in the six yard box before finally bundling it into the net, but he won't care.
The winning goal came through after Chuba Akpom tapped in a cross from Monreal to the back of the net.
Akpom won the Most Valuable Player trophy and the young striker spoke of his admiration for the old masters, including David Villa and Kaka, who were on show.
"They have legends. Players I used to watch growing up,” he said.
“I want to watch they are doing and try to score as many goals as possible."
