Hat-trick hero Fernando Torres helped Liverpool make their best goal-scoring start to a league season in over 100 years yet manager Rafa Benitez has told him he is still not fulfilling his potential. Torres took just 47 minutes to claim his treble in the 6-1 victory over struggling Hull City at Anfield on Saturday, but Benitez believes Torres (23), can still improve.

Benitez said: "I think Fernando is a very good striker and we can say that he is on fire but the Champions League and Premier League are different. He is one of our key players and I hope he will be tomorrow as well.

Of course he can get better. He works very hard in training, he wants to learn and for sure he will improve."
