Torres surprised to see Liverpool scoring records tumble

Liverpool ace Fernando Torres admits he's surprised himself by how he has settled on Merseyside.

The Spaniard's last-minute winner at Aston Villa nine days ago took him to the fastest 50 league goals in Liverpool history.

Now the superstar striker wants to bury the misery of an injury-hit first half of the season with a scoring spree that will rocket the Reds to a Champions League slot.

Torres brought up his half-century in 72 games, beating Albert Stubbins and Sam Raybould's joint-best by eight matches.

He admitted: "It's unbelievable for me because Liverpool is one of the biggest and most historic clubs in the world.

"All those who've played here are top players who have massive records.

"I am ahead of them on this one now and it is one of the most important things I've done in my career.

"But I want to keep breaking these records so I am always in the books and in the memories of the people. I am just doing my job."
