TORRIFIC ... Fernando Torres scores a superb individual goal against West Ham
PEPE REINA has hailed Liverpool team-mate Fernando Torres as 'unbelievable'. The Spaniard's two goals on Saturday helped the Reds to a 3-2 win at West Ham. And his compatriot was never in any doubt that Torres would make the difference.
Keeper Reina said: "We knew that Fernando would score. "We all have 100 per cent confidence in him and we trust him always. He is always working hard for the team and he always creates space for the other players to score.
"His first goal was unbelievable. His turn was fantastic and he showed his quality." Rafa Benitez's men were twice pegged back by the Hammers before producing a spirited second-half performance that eventually saw them clinch victory.
And Reina added: "This was a massive three points. It really was an important win and we showed how much we wanted the victory. "We now look forward and need to keep playing like this game after game.
"Our target is to work hard in every game. We always have the mentality to play every game like a final and we play every game to win."
The clash with Gianfranco Zola's team also saw Reina make his 150th league appearance for Liverpool. He said: "I hope to play 150 more games for this club. I'm very happy that the team won and this is a special club.
"It's a pleasure and a privilege to play in front of the Kop and our wonderful supporters."
