MY BALL ... Fernando Torres pounces for the opening goal at IbroxFERNANDO TORRES got his partnership with Robbie Keane up and running at Ibrox.
Spanish hitman Torres was on target as Rafa Benitez's men enjoyed their biggest victory of pre-season. This was the first time Benitez had paraded his £40million strikeforce of Torres and Keane together. And he was delighted with their performances.
Benitez said: “Both players showed good movement and so did Steven Gerrard. “Dirk Kuyt and Yossi Benayoun were coming inside so I felt we had five offensive players, very clever and with quality so we were a threat all the time.
“Keane is very clever and he worked hard. He is very happy here and hopefully we will see a lot of good movement and also goals from him. “Gerrard, Torres and Keane playing together was one of the keys to keeping possession.
“But I feel we have some good players in the team, different players with different qualities and a good mentality.” David Ngog and Yossi Benayoun also found the net before Xabi Alonso sealed the win from the penalty spot.
