Fernando Torres scored a stoppage time goal to see Chelsea defeat Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening. Sergio Aguero cancelled out Andre Schurrle’s first-half strike to level the game but the Spaniard couldn’t be stopped in the dying minutes of the game. There was a good ebb and flow between both teams in the opening stages of the game and Fernando Torres came close with a header in the seventh minute which looped into Joe Hart’s hands. Manuel Pellegrini’s men were the ones dominating play on the set-pieces, winning corner after corner. In the 23rd minute Ramires won the ball in the middle of the field to feed Torres, but his pass had far too much on it and went out for a City throw. Just before the half hour mark Frank Lampard supplied a free-kick into the box which Gael Clichy dealt with, but a pass played back in by Ramires caught Torres offside. But Chelsea grabbed the lead just minutes later with some great work by Torres down the right. He hit the byline and sent in a low cross to Andre Schurrle, who simply needed to tap it into the City net. Chelsea bombed forward for a second goal but Torres’s effort smashed onto the City crossbar after cutting in on the left. At the restart, City came back with an immediate response to find the equalizer through Sergio Aguero. Nasri slipped a pass through to Aguero and he took Petr Cech by surprise with a first-time strike which flew high into the net at the near post. And even as the game approached its final ten minutes, the result was very much in the balance and anyone’s for the taking. It proved to be the case as Torres topped off his impressive display with a stoppage time goal to hand Chelsea a late 2-1 victory. Hart came out to meet a high ball on the edge of the area but Matija Nastasic attempted a header back towards his own goal, which Torres gladly took by running and tucking it into the empty net from a tight angle.
