Dubai.  Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou scored and Cheick Tiote was sent off as three of Cote d’Ivoire English Premier League players were prominent in a 2-0 friendly win over Tunisia on Friday.

Kalou fired home just before halftime and Chelsea teammate Drogba converted a penalty two minutes into the second half as the Africa Cup of Nations favourite launched its final run-in to the tournament with an impressive victory over the 2004 continental champion. Drogba set up Kalou and then netted from the spot after a handball by Karim Haggui.
