Hell a game in Anfield! Torres the ice-breaker for goal & end this perfect match at 2-0!El Nino scored the opener on his return from an adductor injury on a day when the Reds were back to their best after four consecutive defeats(Damn) But he confessed afterwards: "I wasn't really at my best. We knew before the game I couldn't play to 100 per cent because I had some pain in some actions, but in games like this the pain doesn't matter."
Torres took his tally for the season to nine midway through the second half after brushing off Rio Ferdinand and firing home at the near post.
He added: "I feel a bit of pain when I shoot across so I could only shoot towards the near post - it was the only thing I could do!"
The result leaves Liverpool just four points behind the champions and six adrift of league leaders Chelsea.
"I am really happy for the fans and the players and we will enjoy this," said Torres. "We are in the race again. We knew before the game that we had to win and we did it. Now we have a bit of confidence but we have to keep it going on Wednesday in the Carling Cup against Arsenal.
At the end of the storm, as the lyrics to the club's anthem go, there's a golden sky. There certainly was on this occasion, courtesy of Liverpool's answer to the Sunshine Kid, F.Torres.
Even deprived of their equivalent to Butch Cassidy, Steven Gerrard, one gunslinger was enough to shoot Liverpool out of a particularly dangerous corner. Four successive defeats had made for tempestuous times at Anfield, but a sunny day on Merseyside concluded with the scalp Liverpool prize most: that of Manchester United.
El Nino proves the class act again!!! Cheers mate......
