Rafael Benitez sees no reason why strikers Demba Ba and Fernando Torres cannot play together after Ba scored two debut goals as Chelsea crushed Southampton 5-1 in the FA Cup.

With Torres watching on from the bench at St. Mary's on Saturday, Senegal international Ba (pictured) took just 35 minutes to score his first Chelsea goal - a feat that took the Spaniard 14 games and 2 1/2 months.

"They could play together," said Benitez.
