Another hat-trick for Fernando Torres as he helped Chelsea tore Preston apart to reach the semifinal of the English League Cup.
Torres put the homeside ahead after just 12 minutes converting I.McNeill through ball before M.Rodrigues doubled the lead after he managed to break through Preston defence.
Torres then scored two goals in the second-half injury-time to put Chelsea one step closer to grab the English League Cup.
