Petr Cech praises Chelsea teammate Fernando Torres after the striker broke his goalscoring drought on Sunday.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has praised Fernando Torres following the striker's double against Leicester City in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Torres, 27, had failed to score in over 25 hours of football before ending his goalscoring drought against the Championship side, and Cech has revealed his delight.

"He created two goals and then he scored two goals. It was great to see and he must be delighted as well because as a striker I suppose you think of goals," Cech told reporters.

"It is great for his confidence and we need him because now we have another two massive games coming up and it would be great if he could score."

Chelsea travel to Manchester City in the Premier League on Wednesday.
