LAST WORD - Gabriel says: 'Adding to the debate between Claudia and Chris, I think a short passing style actually suits Torres more than high balls over the top. Sometimes last season they had lumped the ball up to Torres and he didn't really have the aerial presence to deal with the height on the ball and would lose it more often than not to the defence. By playing a more patient game, I think it adds an element of surprise to the defenders when the final through ball is played and his pace becomes more effective. That's my opinion.' Cheers Gabriel, cheers everyone, enjoy the rest of the night!

AJ says: 'Yet again another major decision made by officials and they get it wrong yet again. When is Mike Riley and his cronies going to get transparency within his officiating domaine. They say its the best league in the world but certainly controlled by the the worst officials.'

GOAL - IVANOVIC!!!! Federici comes up for the corner. Harte takes and Chelsea win the ball and break upfield. Federici tries to get back but it is always in vain. Hazard breaks into the right side of the box before crossing to Ivanovic at the far post who slots home from close range past Gunter!!!

GOAL - TORRES!!! Torres for Chelsea, although replays show he was a yard offside when Cole plays his cross. In the build-up, Mata finds Cole to the left side of the box who then hits a cross across the face of goal and Torres has a simple tap in from six yards at the far post!!! Wow!!! Chris from Warrington i bet you're happy!!

'In reply to Chris's last comment: I'm a chelsea fan as well and that's your opinion and I respect that. But if we are using a different technique and winning games shouldn't we support our manager and our players.? Why bring us down when we can go to the top of the premier league tonight.! Support your team and keep them on a high not bring them down! From Claudia(: '
