Chelsea Goals: Fernando Torres' Top 5 Strikes for the Blues

Karl MatchettJun 7, 2018

In the summer of 2007, Liverpool swooped to bring Fernando Torres to the club from La Liga side Atletico Madrid for a fee in excess of ยฃ20 million to spearhead a new-look attack.

The impact the Spaniard had was incredible, as he netted a dozen goals in his first 20 appearances for the team, ushering in new hope and belief in a new Kop hero.

Reading, Derby County, Tottenham Hotspur, Porto, Chelseaโ€”the opposition didn't matter, nor did the calibre of them or how they tried to stop him. All fell by the wayside and conceded goal after goal to the irrepressible Spaniard.

Three-and-a-half years later, Torres has moved on to pastures new with Chelseaโ€”ironically the first team he scored against for Liverpoolโ€”his chosen destination.

A huge ยฃ50 million transfer fee was paid and the Chelsea faithful were salivating with anticipation at what the World Cup winner would bring to their team as they chased another Premier League title.

The terrible weather conditions posed no barrier to Torres as he burst through the Hammers' defence, swivelling through a puddle before firing past Rob Green.
