Torres savours moment

Fernando Torres was in buoyant mood after his double strike helped Spain to a 4-0 win over a disappointing Ireland last night.

Torres started last night’s game after being a sub during Spain’s opening 1-1 draw with Italy, firing in to open the scoring after less than four minutes and sliding home the third goal with 20 minutes remaining.

“I am trying to enjoy every moment and every game,” the Chelsea striker told Spanish TV afterwards. “I had the fortune to start today’s game and to score. Spain has many players for many positions. Cesc (Fabregas) can also play as a forward and he came on and scored another goal.”
