Torres: "I needed those goals"

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has expressed his relief after he brought an end to his five-month goal drought.

The Spanish international scored twice against Leicester City earlier today, his first goals since October.

"I needed those goals, I was working so hard to get them," Torres told ESPN.

"In the last month the team's been much better than before, we're more committed and I think we have shown in the last two or three games which way our season is going.

"I'm the same, I'm feeling much better. I was playing good but didn't score the goals but I could find the back of the net today so it's a good day."

The 27-year-old has now scored seven goals for the Blues.
