Michael Essien has backed  teammate Fernando Torres to score 'lots of goals' at AC Milan after the former Chelsea pair were reunited at the San Siro. The Spain international's time at Stamford Bridge will always be classed an expensive mistake after he failed to live up to his prolific reputation following a £50million move from Liverpool in 2011. However, Essien claims that the 30-year-old has been working hard in training and will rejuvenate his stalled career with the Serie A side. Torres takes on Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal in Serie A match between AC Milan and Juventus Spain international's time at Stamford Bridge will not be remembered as a success
