Yossi: Robin is like Torres

Acclaim has already been lavished on Robin van Persie from just about every angle imaginable this season, yet Yossi Benayoun has still managed to bestow another plaudit on his Arsenal team-mate.

Another game, another goal for the newly-crowned PFA and FWA Footballer of the Year, who took his tally to 35 for the campaign to cancel out Peter Crouch’s Stoke opener in another fiercely-contested battle between these two sides.

Benayoun has been so impressed by the forward that he has compared him to the hugely prolific Fernando Torres he played alongside at Liverpool. The Spaniard scored 72 goals during their three seasons together at Anfield.
