Torres starts in front of new Liverpool owners

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres recovered from an adductor injury to take his place in the starting line-up for the 214th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, watched by new Reds owners John Henry and Tom Werner.

The 26-year-old limped off early in the team’s 2-1 defeat to Blackpool a fortnight ago but the international break has allowed him to recover.
