However, Rubin grabbed an away goal moments before the break through Bibras Natkho's penalty following a handball from John Terry.
The visitors looked dangerous during the second half, but Chelsea restored their two-goal cushion with 20 minutes left to play as Torres powerfully headed in Juan Mata's cross.
