Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hailed their fans for supporting Fernando Torres. Mourinho was delighted with Torres' goalscoring performance in victory over Hull City.
"Chelsea fans are like this. I remember in 2004 when we had Mateja Kezman and he scored his first (league) goal in December, but every time playing at Stamford Bridge people were supporting him," he said.
"It helps players, especially in a difficult moment. Players do not feel the heat when things are not going well for them."
Mourinho famously branded himself the 'Special One' upon his arrival at Chelsea, but reflecting on Torres' situation he had a new assessment to make.
"Special fans. Special club," he said.
