Chelsea: 3 Reasons Why Fernando Torres Is Back To His Best

3. Right Place, Right Time

Chelsea's winner came about because of a defensive mix-up between much-maligned Man City keeper Joe Hart and Serbian defender Matija Nastasic. Torres was on hand to profit from their misjudgments. Put simply, he was in the right place at the right time. Would a Torres lacking confidence have followed in a long, deflected John Terry clearance? Surely not. The goal may have been gift from Manuel Pellegrini's team, but Torres had the presence of mind to judge where the ball would break and tap it in.
