Chelsea 2-1 Manchester City: Torres was the Hero at STamford Bridge

Fernando Torres netted a 90th-minute winner as Chelsea claimed a dramatic 2-1 Barclays Premier League win in a pulsating contest with fellow title-contenders Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

One of the most eagerly-awaited games of the season so far, pitting together squads lavishly assembled by Roman Abramovich and Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour and two former managers of Real Madrid, was decided by a much-maligned £50million striker.

In a thrilling match, a rush of blood saw Joe Hart try to reach a Willian through ball which allowed Torres in to net a crucial winner to extend Chelsea's 100 per cent home start to the Premier League season at home.

Jose Mourinho celebrated the goal and the extension of his unbeaten Premier League run at Stamford Bridge to 65 games by leaping into the crowd, where he finished the prior home match with Cardiff following his touchline dismissal.

Torres had missed a sitter earlier on and made amends by provided the cross for Andre Schurrle to tap in his first Chelsea goal.

Torres then crashed a shot against the bar after terrorising the City defence with his pace for a second time.

The Spain striker had designs on making the match about one man, but another former Atletico Madrid striker had other ideas and Sergio Aguero struck his ninth goal in seven games four minutes into the second half.

Then Torres struck in a dramatic finale which Hart and City boss Manuel Pellegrini will not want to see again. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea/chelsea-21-manchester-city-torres-nets-dramatic-90th-minute-winner-at-stamford-bridge-29703859.html
