The first half had been a stalemate with few chances, but Torres struck twice in three minutes during the second period to maintain Liverpool's unbeaten start to the season.

Everton lost Tim Cahill late on when the Australian received a straight red card for a late tackle on Xabi Alonso.

Everton should have been ahead after 14 minutes when Cahill failed to make a decent connection to Mikel Arteta's corner from just six yards.

Xabi Alonso was booked for blocking an Arteta run on the right before Robbie Keane almost created a scoring opportunity for Dirk Kuyt, arriving late in the box.

Albert Riera should have done better when presented with a shooting chance by Keane.

But after 59 minutes Keane's cross to the far post was met beautifully on the volley by Torres to beat Tim Howard.

Three minutes later Torres was celebrating again. Liverpool surged forward again and when Phil Jagielka's tackle 10 yards out stopped Keane in his tracks, the ball fell for Torres to smash into the top corner.

Torres scored again seconds later but the effort was ruled out by referee Mike Riley.

Cahill was sent off when Riley showed him a red card for a late challenge on Alonso. It was the eighth red card in the last eight derbies, and the 17th in 33 Premier League clashes between the clubs.
