Steve Bruce branded Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt, below, as 'unsportsmanlike' after another bizarre incident involving referee Stuart Attwell. [LNB]The pair combined for the Dutchman to score the opening goal in yesterday's 2-2 draw with Sunderland at Anfield after defender Michael Turner tried to reposition a free-kick.[LNB] Dirk Kuyt and Fernando Torres[LNB]Attwell had to consult his assistant before allowing the goal to stand, but Bruce was furious. 'For me it's unjust, it's unsportsmanlike,' the Sunderland manager said. [LNB]'It is not in the rules of the game and they have capitalised on it. Everybody in the ground - including most of the Liverpool team - knew Turner didn't take the free-kick. He was passing it back to the goalkeeper to take the free-kick from where it should have been taken from.'[LNB] [LNB]  Kenny Dalglish: Liverpool's financial problems shouldn't be used as an excuseLiverpool 2 Sunderland 2: Captain Gerrard rescues embarrassed RedsLIVERPOOL FC
