El Nino Treble

Fernando Torres pushed Liverpool back to fourth in the Barclays Premier League, on a night when the Kop made it clear they wanted the club's American ownership out of Anfield. Torres, the best performing striker of Liverpool's season, became only the fourth player in the club's history to score hat-tricks in successive home matches.

Before and at half-time fans all around the ground sung and chanted their anger at the American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

Liverpool were always a threat out wide, and West Ham struggled to deal with the resulting crosses. The Hammers lived dangerously through out the game and only a fine save from Green stopped Babel after Gerrard had cleverly played the Dutchman into the box.
