Torres close to ending goal drought

Fernando Torres' rare interview in Chelsea's matchday programme could hardly have been more prophetic as the striker came within inches of ending his latest goal drought in their 1-0 win over Sunderland.

Frank Lampard will go down in the history books as the Blues' matchwinner but even he admitted his goal owed everything to Torres, who supplied the assist - albeit an unwitting one - in what was arguably his best Chelsea performance at Stamford Bridge.

He seemed to know what was coming beforehand, saying: "I'm hoping now I can find my best form again."
