Rafael Benitez says that Fernando Torres's recent displays prove that his new methods are working at Chelsea.

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has insisted that the form of Fernando Torres proves that his methods are working at the club.

The striker's displays have improved since the former Liverpool boss took charge at Stamford Bridge, having netted six goals in his past five matches.

Benitez believes that his methods have got more than just Torres firing on all cylinders at the Blues.

"Two or three things that we are doing for some players are really good," Benitez said, claiming that the sharpness in the majority of his players was now "much better".

"Fernando is one of the examples. He's scoring goals and the team is winning and playing well, so he's really happy, not just because he's scoring goals but also because the team's doing well.

"I think that the team has an influence on him because the team is doing well, so the team is playing better, creating more chances. So Fernando is taking more chances."

Torres has scored 13 goals in all competitions so far this season.
