And an indispensable joy at Stamford Bridge last night was Fernando Torres.
At the beginning of the match, Torres seemed to be having another disappointing evening in a Chelsea shirt, when his shot in the 7th minute hit the post.
In the 11th minute, receiving the ball from Frank Lampard’s pass, Torres entered the penalty area and skillfully defeated goalkeeper Laszlo Koteles (See Clip).
Finding his excitement again and receiving a lot of help from the midfield, Torres continued to shine.
A safe distance helps Chelsea play comfortably, while Genk’s efforts are not really effective.
In the second half, Chelsea still completely controlled the game even though the tempo decreased somewhat.
