Cool Torres helps keep lid on Gala cauldron

Galatasaray 1 Chelsea 1

Having seen Manchester United follow Arsenal and Manchester City in losing their last-16 first-leg ties 2-0, the west Londoners refused to wilt under the intense pressure brought by the raucous Turk Telecom Arena crowd.

The Blues had looked on course for victory after Torres netted in a dominant first-half display, only for Roberto Mancini’s side to produce a much improved performance after the break and earn a draw as poor defending from a corner allowed Aurelien Chedjou to strike home.
