It was also the eighth league game at Anfield in a row that Torres had scored in, equalling Roger Hunt's record from the 1961-2 season.
"I'm very proud. I knew about the record before the game and I am pleased to have scored again. Now I will try to do even better next season," said the striker.
"The first season is normally always difficult but it has been made easy for me by my teammates. It's thanks to them that I can keep scoring and keep improving."
