Benitez Defends Torres

Description:Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez defended Fernando Torres on Friday (February 22) after the Spaniard failed to score for the sixth successive game on Thursday (February 21). Torres had a number of chances to score in Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday as the Blues won 2-1 on aggregate to reach the last 16. The Spain international has only scored once in 14 matches but Benitez insisted Torres was contributing a lot to the team. (1:17)
