THE LATEST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS – Fernando Torres’ efforts to improve his disappointing form at Chelsea paid off as he scored a brace on Sunday’s league game against hosts Sunderland 1-3.
The Spanish striker opened scoring
on the 11th minute and followed up a 45th-minute penalty to bring visiting
Chelsea 0-2 by the end of the first half. Compatriot Juan Mata found the back
of the net four minutes into the second half.
Adam Johnson’s strike on the 66th

Roberto di Matteo.
