Torres came off the bench yesterday to finally break Fulham's resistance and set the Reds on the way to a 2-0 win. Rafa Benitez was full of praise for his compatriot after the game.

"It was good to see Fernando come back and score a really good goal," said the Spaniard.

"It was good for him and good for us. But the other strikers did a good job too. Okay in this case it was Fernando who scored but Voronin had three or four good chances and I was pleased with them.

"The idea was to keep him on the bench and if we needed something we knew he was there and the supporters would always be behind him."
