Kuyt High On Torres Brace

Dirk Kuyt insists the whole Liverpool squad had confidence Fernando Torres would regain his top form after his starring role in the win over Chelsea. Torres showed signs of returning to his best with a superb first- half double to condemn league leaders Chelsea to a 2-0 defeat at Anfield. Kuyt believes Liverpool's improved form has helped bring the best out of Torres after a difficult start to the campaign. "We always had the confidence in Fernando, no doubt about that," Kuyt told the club's official website. "You can see the team playing better now every week and in every game, and Fernando is also getting better and better. "He finished his goals in a brilliant way. "We were really satisfied with the team performance. "I thought we played really well in the first half and then in the second we had to defend but everyone did a great job. "Pepe had another brilliant game. He kept another clean sheet and he did a brilliant job for us." Great day Kuyt marked his return to action following five games out with an assist for Torres' opener and the Dutchman was delighted to make a successful comeback against Chelsea. "For me that was a very good moment in the game," added Kuyt. "I have worked really hard to get back to fitness and I know Chelsea isn't the easiest game to come back in but it was a great day. "To see Fernando finish from my assist was a perfect moment. "It's also a big plus to our medical team who have worked hard to get me fit again so quickly. They have helped me a lot and I am very thankful to them."
