Torres slid home Robbie Keane’s cross after 59 minutes then pounced on a loose ball to score from close range after Phil Jagielka tackled Dirk Kuyt.

Tim Cahill had Everton’s best chance after 13 minutes but mis-kicked from Mikel Arteta’s corner.

Everton’s misery was complete when referee Mike Riley sent Cahill off for fouling Xabi Alonso after 80 minutes.

It was a victory that gives Liverpool their best start to a Premier League season – with star striker Torres ending a barren six-game sequence in style and keeper Pepe Reina not having a save to make in the match.
