Torres ends career-worst, 26-game goal drought as Chelsea reaches FA Cup ... - Washington Post Mar 18th 2012, 17:24 He added a near-post header in the 85th for his sixth goal of the season and just his seventh in 52 appearances for Chelsea, which acquired him from Liverpool in January 2011 for 50 million pounds (then $80 million). "I needed those goals. I've been working so hard to get them," Torres said. "Maybe the job of a striker is to score goals and if you don't do it people think you're playing badly. But the support has been here and I feel the confidence of the manager (Roberto di Matteo) now. We have some important games coming." Gary Cahill opened the scoring with a 12th-minute header. Obtained his January, Cahill marked his first Chelsea goal by unveiling a "Pray 4 Muamba" T-shirt in tribute to former Bolton teammate Fabrice Muamba, who is in intense care after going into cardiac arrest during Saturday's match at Tottenham. Salomon Kalou doubled Chelsea's lead in the 17th, and Raul Meireles scored in the first minute of stoppage time. Jermaine Beckford and Ben Marshall scored for second-tier Leicester. Chelsea has won four straight since Matteo took over as interim manager after Andre Villas-Boas was fired. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
