Liverpool superstar Fernando Torres had a rather understated reaction to his sensational strike against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, which was a sure-fire contender for goal of the season.
The hyper-talented Spaniard contributed to his side's 4-0 romp over Rovers with two goals, but the first after just five minutes was one that nobody in the stadium will ever forget.
Torres ran onto a chip over the top of the Blackburn back-line by Jamie Carragher and unleashed a sumptuous volley across his own body and into the far top corner while under pressure and facing away from goal just inside the 18-yard box.
"Sometimes you try to score like this, but normally the ball goes out, but this one went in. It was a good goal," said Torres to Sky Sports with a wry smile after the game.
"It was a great result coming after the game against Chelsea. The last game wasn't good, but we've done our job," he added, before turning his attention to the task of turning around a 3-1 loss in the first-leg at home to Chelsea last week.
"We have confidence after this result to go to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday," he boomed.
