Torres on target as Liverpool beat Singapore: Liverpool crushed Singapore 5-0. Goals came from Fernando Torres, Andriy Voronin, Albert Riera, Krisztian Nemeth and Xabi Alonso.

Liverpool crushed Singapore 5-0 on Sunday for their first win in four pre-season games with Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin among the scorers.

Albert Riera and promising young Hungarian striker Krisztian Nemeth also found the back of the net in the morale-boosting win.

The Reds needed a victory to ramp up their preparations for the new season where they will start as one of the favourites to clinch their first title in 20 years after a credible second behind Manchester United in the last campaign.

To the disappointment of fans here, Steven Gerrard missed the match after remaining in England following his acquittal over an alleged assault but Torres played 30 minutes in a return from his summer break.

And in a potentially significant move, Real Madrid target Xabi Alonso came on with 13 minutes remaining.

At the end of the match, Fernando Torres exchanged jerseys with Daniel Bennett and Xabi Alonso with Mustafic Fahrudin. And caught by the camera, a gal in the crowd who held up a "Torres Nanny For Hire" sign.
