Liverpool cut the gap between themselves and Tottenham to four points after dominating Sunderland at Anfield. Torres opened the scoring early on with a superb strike and, after Glen Johnson's goal had put the Reds in total control, Torres notched his second with a cleverly taken effort.
Although Liverpool moved above Man City into fifth place, they will drop back to sixth if City beat Wigan tonight, while Tottenham also have a game in hand on Benitez's team.
In the other EPL fixture, David Dunn's controversial penalty helped Blackburn defeat Burley 1-0.
