Blues robbed of two penalties: Torres

Following Chelsea's 0-0 draw at Stoke City, Fernando Torres is adamant they should have had two penalties.

In what was a fairly tame match, it was going to take either something special, or a mistake to break the deadlock with Stoke showing little attacking threat and Chelsea unable to find a way past Asmir Begovic in the hosts' net. Torres was involved in two potential penalty shouts, the first when he fell to the floor under pressure from Jonathan Woodgate, and the second when he received a kick by Robert Huth right on the edge of the box, however, the Spain international doesn't want to use that as an excuse. Torres told SkySports: "It was a disappointing result because we had some chances to score and two very clear penalty situations, one of them I was involved with. I think it was very clear, but at the end of the game, 90 minutes wasn't enough to score, so it's not an excuse, but I think we did enough to win."
