Liverpool striker Fernando Torres scored a brilliant hat-trick
to blow away struggling Hull at Anfield.
The Spain striker scored twice in the first half either side of
Geovanni's equaliser and added a third soon after the interval.
Captain Steven Gerrard scored a fourth just before the hour and
substitute Ryan Babel added two late goals as Liverpool made it
four league wins - including 16 goals - in succession.
But the day belonged to Torres, who took his tally for the season
to eight in seven matches and an incredible 33 in 34 matches at
Anfield.
This was also his fourth Liverpool hat-trick and the third he has
scored in the Premier League.
