Hazard happy to see Chelsea striker Torres off mark

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard was happy to see Fernando Torres on the mark in their Community Shield defeat to Manchester City.

Hazard is backing Torres, who scored Chelsea's first goal on Sunday, to find some consistent form this season, after a troubled first 18 months at Stamford Bridge.

"It was a great finish," said Hazard. "And I know a lot more will come. Fernando is one of the best strikers in the world - quick and powerful and very efficient in front of goal."
