Terry and Torres get Blues firing

PREMIER LEAGUE:

Mourinho spent most of the pre-match build up to Saturday’s London derby at White Hart Lane telling everyone that Tottenham are title contenders; and there were enough signs during a passionate 1-1 draw to suggest he is right.

But, although Torres’ controversial red card stole the headlines , perhaps the key point of learning from a frantic 90 minutes of action — and the most worrying for United boss David Moyes as he attempts to rescue his champions from capsizing in mid-table — was that despite a shaky start to the season Chelsea are slowly maturing into title contenders.
