Liverpool's Fernando Torres wants to top last season's 33-goal tally after rediscovering his scoring form.
The striker had been out of touch this term, with just one goal since his Euro 2008 heroics for Spain.
But his two goals in three second-half minutes maintained Liverpool's unbeaten record this season and left Everton still searching for their first home win of the campaign.

Everton's day was made worse by the red card which was shown to Tim Cahill by referee Mike Riley for a late challenge on Xabi Alonso.

But the day belonged to Torres, who told the club's official website: "Not scoring for six games is too long for a striker. It hasn't been affecting my confidence because I knew that if I kept working hard the goals would arrive.
"Now I want to keep going and score again in the Champions League next week. I want to improve on my 33 goals from last season.
"It was an important three points today. We know how important this game is for the fans and the players because we want to stay towards the top of the table.
"We know if we're in the top three or four in January and also in the next round of the Champions League then we can have a fantastic season."
"I knew that if I kept working hard the goals would arrive."
