Di Matteo still supporting Torres

Roberto Di Matteo has launched his most sustained defence yet of Fernando Torres after the striker's latest Chelsea horror show.

Torres arguably looked more than ever like a £50million misfit in Tuesday's Champions League defeat at Shakhtar Donetsk as his Jekyll-and-Hyde form showed no sign of abating.

"I have no concerns about Fernando," he said, admitting Tuesday was not the Spaniard's best game.
