Fernando Torres came off the bench to score an injury-time winner
in a 3-2 victory against Portsmouth and send Liverpool to the top
of the Barclays Premier League.
Torres only came on with 15 minutes to go and by that time his
side were chasing the win after David Nugent's opener had been cancelled
out by Fabio Aurelio.
The Spain striker then set up Dirk Kuyt before heading home in
stoppage-time.
It proved to be a masterstroke for Rafael Benitez to leave Torres
on the bench - but it was the closest of calls.
