CHELSEA YAIBUTUA MANCHESTER CITY GOLI 2 KWA 1

Fernando Torres capitalised on a defensive slip from Matija Nastasic to earn Chelsea a dramatic late win over Manchester City.

The defender nodded the ball over his goalkeeper Joe Hart, allowing Torres to nip in an score from a tight angle.
It snatched three vital points for Chelsea after Sergio Aguero had earlier slammed in his 10th goal of the season to equalise Andre Schurrle's opener
The in-form City striker outpaced the Blues defence to lash Samir Nasri's through pass beyond a despairing Petr Cech early in the second half.
