Both Fernando Torres and
Robbie Keane went into the game at Goodison
Park under heavy pressure and criticism for
their lack of goals in recent outings.
But the Spanish international
ended his six-game drought by netting both goals while Keane had a
part to play in his strike partner’s brace.
“It was a good performance by
the team and Fernando played really well,” Benitez told the club’s
official website.
“Clearly, we have players who
can change games like Fernando with his goals and this gives the
team confidence.
“It makes it easier for us to
play well and keep the ball and Torres is always a threat for
defenders,” Rafa added.
“Robbie was also doing a good job for the team and he
played a part in both our goals.”
