After a crucial game against Aston Villa (1-0) in dreadful wintry conditions Steven Gerrard mentions that Torres can fire Liverpool back into the Top Four on premier league points table.

Last minute Victory against Aston Villa is the back-to-back Premier League victories for Liverpool for the first time since September. Liverpool has moved up on points table and now they are two points behind Aston Villa and within five points of the Champions League qualification places

It also made Torres the quickest player in the Liverpool history to score 50 league goals after reaching the landmark in his 72nd appearance for the club.

Gerrard said delight: “You have to keep going until the end and when you have guys like Fernando in your team you always know there is a chance to snatch it. Everyone knows when he is on form he is the best in the world. We want him to score many more goals like that and drive us into the top four We are hoping this win gives us a big boost. We want to treat the next game like this one. This means nothing on its own.”

Gerrard continued: “Villa, Spurs and Man City are going to keep fighting all the way and we need to do the same. It’s important to build on this and I’m sure we will build on this. We’ve virtually got everybody back fit so there’s no excuses. The top four will be difficult, I’m sure teams will spend in January so it’ll go right to the end.”

Torres, who has now netted 12 goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season. Despite his ongoing rehabilitation from a long-standing groin problem, Torres played the full 90 minutes for the second time in four days.

Torres said: “When you play a good team like Villa it’s always a tough game. But we are closer to the top four now. It was a massive game for us. The form of the team was very good.”

“Last season we scored plenty of goals in injury time and we have done that again tonight. It’s the confidence boost we needed. We need to win games in a row and we are getting close to the form we had last season.”

Liverpool’s win was only their fourth on their Premier League travels this season. However, they are getting their confidence back and will hopefully end up in top four.
