Fernando Torres scored twice in the dying minutes to snatch a vital win for Liverpool against 10-man Chelsea that breathes new life into their title bid.

The Blues clearly set their stall out to frustrate Liverpool, even before Frank Lampard contentiously saw red on the hour for a lunge at Xabi Alonso.

And the defensive approach looked like working until Torres headed in Fabio Aurelio’s cross in the 89th minute.

The Spaniard then tapped in a second to seal the win and break Chelsea hearts.
