EDITORS COMMENTS
Great moment captured in this print as Fernando Torres celebrates scoring the first goal for Chelsea against Crystal Palace in the Barclays Premier League on December 14,2013. The Spanish international striker, who had joined the Blues from Liverpool in 2011, had been criticized for his lackluster performances and goal-scoring form at Stamford Bridge. But on this chilly winter afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Torres proved his worth with a clinical finish that put Chelsea ahead in the 37th minute. The goal came after a brilliant team move, with Eden Hazard providing the assist with a pinpoint cross from the left. Torres, who had been lurking in the penalty area, timed his run perfectly and met Hazard's cross with a powerful header that left Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni with no chance. The goal was a much-needed boost for Chelsea, who had been struggling to find their form in the league that season. It was also a significant moment for Torres, who had been under immense pressure to perform and justify his hefty transfer fee. The goal marked a turning point in his Chelsea career, as he went on to score more goals in the second half of the season and help the team secure a top-four finish. This print captures the excitement and relief on Torres' face as he celebrates with his teammates, with the jubilant crowd in the background. It is a testament to the thrill of football and the importance of a single goal in the context of a football match. Darren Walsh, the photographer, has perfectly captured the emotion and energy of the moment, making it a must-have for any Chelsea fan.
