Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 at Goodison yesterday thanks to a Fernando Torres double and after the game Rafa Benitez paid tribute to Torres and the team as a whole.

"It was a good performance by the team and Fernando was really good. We had a lot of players like Keane, Gerrard and Kuyt who were doing a good job for the team and the defenders, but I prefer to talk about the team and how well we did today," said the Reds boss.

"With these type of games you have to play with passion and also with game intelligence, so you need to use your brain and also your muscles. We did both things really well.

"I thought we played really well against United and again today. This was a very positive performance and the team was well organised and we knew what to do.

"Clearly we have players who can change games like Fernando with his goals and it gives the team confidence and it makes it easier for us to play well and keep the ball. Torres is always a threat for defenders."
