Chelsea leave it late with win over Manchester City

Fernando Torres’ late winner at Stamford Bridge ensured Chelsea beat fellow title hopefuls Manchester City 2-1 to climb to second in the Premier League.

Earlier in the match Torres set up Andre Schurrle brilliantly to make it 1-0 to the Blues after 33 minutes, only for Sergio Aguero to power in a superb leveller in the 49th minute.

Both sides had chances in an exciting finale but it looked like they would have to settle for a point apiece until the 90th minute when Torres chased a hopeful long ball from Willian and a communication breakdown at the back for City resulted in Hart charging to the edge of his box and Nastasic heading it beyond his goalkeeper, giving Torres the chance to turn in the winning goal.
