23 February 2008

Goal 22 – West Ham United
Barclays Premier League
5 March 2008
Torres became the first Reds striker since Jack Balmer in 1946 to score successive hat-tricks at Anfield as he followed up his treble against Middlesbrough 10 days earlier with another three against West Ham.

Dirk Kuyt's cross from the right past Robert Green with the side of his right boot.
