VIDEO: Fernando Torres rips apart Villarreal's defense, puts Atletico Madrid ahead

What year is it? 2008?

In a reminder he's still capable of taking matters into his own feet on the pitch, Fernando Torres scored a stunning goal that proved to be the difference in Atletico Madrid's 1-0 win at Villarreal on Thursday.

After Villarreal committed a costly turnover at the half-way line, Torres pounced on the loose ball and proceeded to dribble the length of Villarreal's own half, shake off two defenders in obscene fashion, and casually slot the ball into the back of the net.

Villarreal continue to fall victim to Torres' goal-scoring exploits.
