Chelsea beats Man City 2-1 as Torres nets late winner

Chelsea's Fernando Torres provided a late twist as his side beat fellow title contenders Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in the English Premier League.

According to CNN, Torres, guilty earlier of a shocking miss before brilliantly setting up Andre Schurrle for Chelsea's opener, gratefully accepted to score from close range.

It was tough on City, who equalized in the second half through Sergio Aguero and had chances of their own to claim the three points, the report said.

It lifted Jose Mourinho's men to second place in the standings, two points adrift of Arsenal, the report added.
