Torres targets AVB after ending drought

The sheer scale of the numbers had threatened to crush Fernando Torres; 24 hours and 33 minutes of playing time without a goal coming into this game, 150 days since he last found the net.

But no more.

The Chelsea striker was forced to wait a further 67 minutes of this FA Cup quarter-final tie to end his excruciating drought — and a wasted first-half opportunity suggested the agony might continue for another day — then a mere 18 minutes before finding the net again.
