Torres fired Liverpool to a scarcely deserved victory over Sunderland in their Premier League opener at the Stadium of Light. The striker, scorer of the winning goal in this year's European Championships final, was anonymous for much of the evening as his partnership with £20m new boy Robbie Keane continued to stutter, but he produced a vicious drive eight minutes from time to claim the points.
