The striker had been out of touch this term, with just one goal since his Euro 2008 heroics for Spain, but his two goals in three second-half minutes maintained Liverpool's unbeaten record this season and left Everton still searching for their first home win of the campaign.

Torres said after Liverpool's 2-0 victory: "I hope to go on a run like last season and maybe get more than the 33 I managed then."

He added: "I have kept working hard at my game and I knew the goals would come.

"It has been a difficult start for me this season after a busy summer, but now I have got myself back into form with these two."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was not quite so ambitious, admitting: "I would settle for 32 from him! If he does that I will be happy.

"We are playing with confidence and controlled the game. We are top, probably for only a while, but we want to make sure we are at the top for a long time.

"As for the red card, Xabi told me it could have been a lot worse, he felt it was justified."

Everton's day was made worse by the red card which was shown to Tim Cahill by referee Mike Riley for a late challenge on Xabi Alonso.

Everton manager David Moyes did not feel the tackle warranted a red card, and said: "It was not the worst foul of the day and I felt it was only a yellow. We will be asking the referee to have a look at the decision and hope he will rescind the card."
