Torres' Chelsea woes continue at Norwich
Miserable Chelsea striker Fernando Torres' woeful form in front of goal continued this afternoon, as Norwich held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road. Torres has now gone three months without a Premier League goal.
Torres had a glorious opportunity to give the Blues the win, and end his miserable spell in front of goal late on, but he hit the ball agonisingly wide past the Norwich goalkeeper Ruddy's post. In addition, the striker brought a great save out of John Ruddy in the first half.
The early kick off seemed to be geared up for a Chelsea win, as the Blues hoped to cut a six point deficit behind third placed Tottenham, who play Manchester City tomorrow.
However, Torres would not be the match winner today as he was taken off after 77 minutes and replaced with Romelu Lukaku.
The result left Chelsea five points off of Spurs and Norwich stay in ninth, only two points behind Stoke City.
