Cahill: Torres may be offside

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill says Fernando Torres's goal against Reading on Wednesday night may have been from offside position. Chelsea won the game 4-2.


Torres converted Ashley Cole's cross to put Chelsea 3-2 ahead, with Reading manager Brian McDermott adamant the Blues striker was offside.
　
The defender said: 'It was maybe slightly [offside] so that went for us.
　
'But it was fantastic for Fernando. He has two goals now and he is up and running.'
　
Reading manager McDermott who confronted the referee's assistant after the final whistle at Stamford Bridge, said he was 'gutted' and insisted 'the linesman made a mistake'.
　
'He's a clear yard offside. It's just a shame really. I'm disappointed for the players.
　
'I thought it was a great game. We've come to the European champions and put on a real performance. It shows we deserve to be here.
　
'We felt there was something for us at 2-2 and we could have got another goal. I don't feel we deserved to lose the game.'
