The Spaniard has scored nine goals in his last six matches, including hat-tricks against Middlesbrough and West Ham United at Anfield, to take his total for the season to 20 in the league and 27 in total.

Torres has been the inspiration for a terrific run of results, with Liverpool winning their last seven matches in all competitions.

That has allowed Rafael Benitez's side to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and claw their way back to the fringes of the title race.

And Torres wants to continue to fire Liverpool to success over the next two months, telling the club's official website: "I hope to score many more goals for Liverpool this season.

"We've been on a really good run as a team, and it's not just me who's been scoring - the goals are being shared around. It's easier to score goals and play well yourself when everyone is on form, and the team did that last month.

"Fortunately for me, I've been having a good year so far and I'm hoping the team can continue our good run of results right up until the end of the season. I'm especially happy as it's happened in a country outside my own, and I think that makes success harder to achieve."
