// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez believes Fernando Torres can get even better after watching his deadly striker score twice in a 3-2 win over West Ham.[LNB] A pulsating game in East London was decided by the Spaniard's second half header with just fifteen minutes left on the clock.[LNB]Torres opened the scoring in the 20th minute before West Ham's Alessandro Diamanti was fortunate to level from the penalty spot after slipping as he struck the ball.[LNB]Dirk Kuyt put Liverpool back in front four minutes before the break only for Carlton Cole to equalise for a second time on the stroke of half-time.[LNB]It was, though, Torres who had the final say and at the end of the game Benitez had nothing but praise for his compatriot.[LNB]"If he continues to play like he did today, he can be one of the best," said Benitez. "When you talk about the Premier League you talk about a lot of players with quality so it is not easy to pick just one, but he is among the best.[LNB]Improving"He is a very good player and it is easy to see his qualities. If he is keen to learn, he will improve.[LNB]"He is a very good player and hopefully he will be better in the future.[LNB]"I was really pleased with him in the Champions League game in midweek. He didn't score but he created chances and space for his team-mates and worked very hard.[LNB]"Today he was a threat and that means the rest of the team can work in a different way.[LNB]"He is now fit and we are working hard with him to prevent injuries. If he cannot play one or two games, we have Kuyt or Ryan Babel who can score goals.[LNB]"Hopefully he won't be injured and he can score a lot of goals for us but we have different options.[LNB]"We were in control of the game and the reaction of the team was very positive. I could see that Kuyt was tired and Ryan was really good. His pace was crucial for us and the key at the end."[LNB]
