Torres keeps Reds in title race

Fernando Torres grabbed two late goals as Liverpool reclaimed second place in the Barclays Premier League with a dramatic 2-0 win over Chelsea.

The Blues had Frank Lampard sent off for a lunge on Xabi Alonso in the second half, and Liverpool took advantage to complete a league double over Luiz Felipe Scolari's side.

Referee Mike Riley booked seven other players as the two heavyweights slugged it out in their attempt to keep the title race alive.
