Torres "fires", Chelsea wins Asia Trophy Cup

Chelsea's most expensive striker, Fernando Torres, scored his first goal after the 2011 season against Aston Villa, helping the London team win 2-0 and win the Asia Trophy in the match that took place last night, July 30.

Chelsea's two goals were scored by young midfielder Josh McEachran in the first minute, after a messy play outside the Aston Villa penalty area. In the 59th minute, with great sensitivity, Torres swooped in to cushion the ball and change the direction of Malouda's shot, sealing the score at 2-0 for Chelsea.

With this victory, not only did Chelsea win the 2011 Asia Trophy Cup, but it also helped the team of new coach Villa-Boas win all friendly matches before the 2012 season.

This was also the first trophy, albeit a friendly, for coach Villa-Boas, as his Chelsea team played more freely, attacked more, and Torres and Drogba worked hard to cooperate on the attack line.

With a squad that blends well with young players like Josh McEachran, Van Aanholt, Daniel Sturridge along with Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Chelsea can confidently compete with MU in the 2012 season.

This is Chelsea's last friendly match. After this match, the London team will return to England to prepare for the 2011-2012 Premier League campaign, starting with a trip to Stoke City's Britannia Stadium on August 14.
