Fernando Torres says everyone at Liverpool is behind skipper Steven Gerrard after his arrest last week.

"I was pleased to score for the team and for the fans because it guaranteed the result and took us into the next round," Torres told liverpoolfc.tv after their FA Cup victory over Preston.

"I might have scored the goal but it was created by Stevie and I would like to dedicate my goal to him.

"He is our captain and he is also a great guy and he has helped me ever since I came to the club and moved to this area.

"Everyone at Liverpool is behind him."
