Torres has the X-Factor

FERNANDO TORRES blew the Premier League title race wide open and insisted: The best is yet to come.

The Liverpool hitman, who struck twice to stun leaders Chelsea, said: "It's been a difficult time for me but I'm feeling better and improving every day.
"I don't know if I can play at my best soon but I hope so.
"The end of last season was tough for me, especially at the World Cup, because of lots of injuries.

"Part of life as a footballer is being criticised. Everything you do is around the world a minute later.
"I know the expectation and I want to fight hard to get my top form back."
Torres opened the scoring after 11 minutes before hitting a magnificent second on the stroke of half-time.
It took his record against the champions to seven goals in eight games - and left Chelsea just two points clear of Manchester United at the Premier League summit.
For Kop boss Roy Hodgson it was vindication of his insistence that it was only a matter of time before Torres struck gold once again.
Hodgson said: "Fernando is a vital player for Liverpool, he would be for any club.
"We speak all the time and he wants the club to do well. He wants to see we're moving in the right direction.
"We were all in a situation wondering what the future would be during the takeover but, like myself, he can see a positive one here.
"He likes being at Liverpool and playing for Liverpool. I don't have any fears for the future as far as he's concerned, as long as we can get back close to the top of the table where Liverpool belong.
"He has taken his fair share of criticism, some of which has been exaggerated and not deserved.
"But people will now say he's back to his best. Let's just hope that's the case."
