Chelsea boss Villas-Boas convinced goals will flow for Torres

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is convinced the goals are about to flow for Fernando Torres.

Torres was decisive in their win over Sunderland on Saturday.

"He's still not scoring but is ever so close to scoring, which is already good," said Villas-Boas, who felt one goal could be the trigger for a glut to follow.

"Could happen. We will have to wait and see.

"Maybe a goal would help on the personal, inspiration level but we are not worried because he is doing well.

"Obviously, his confidence is improving and his form is improving."

Villas-Boas felt sure Torres' luck would change provided he maintained his current level of performance.

"It's down to luck when things like this happen," he said. "Of course, a goalscorer gets goals.

"But he's very willing to change his fortune and I think the goals will come."
