Torres goal delights Benitez

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admitted his delight that record signing Fernando Torres had got himself on the goal trail ahead of next week’s Premier League opener.

The £20m striker scored after just 13 minutes with a clever chip to send Liverpool on the way to a 2-0 victory over Chinese side Shanghai Shenhau in the opening match of the Rotterdam tournament at Feyenoord’s De Kuip stadium.
