1. Liverpool vs. Middlesbrough, 23 Feb 2008 - a smooth move leads to the second and best goal of a Torres hat-trick.


2. Liverpool vs. West Ham United, 5 March 2008 (first goal only) - not even a dodgy cross and tight marking could prevent El Nino from burying this beauty.


3. Internazionale vs. Liverpool, 11 March 2008 - a nice touch and turn culminates in an unstoppable finish.


4. Liverpool vs. Arsenal, 8 April 2008 - Philippe Senderos now knows why you cannot give a world-class striker an inch of room.
