Spanish hitman Torres was on target as Rafa Benitez's men enjoyed their biggest victory of pre-season.
This was the first time Benitez had paraded his £40million strikeforce of Torres and Keane together. And he was delighted with their performances.
Benitez said: “Both players showed good movement and so did Steven Gerrard.
“Dirk Kuyt and Yossi Benayoun were coming inside so I felt we had five offensive players, very clever and with quality so we were a threat all the time.
“Keane is very clever and he worked hard. He is very happy here and hopefully we will see a lot of good movement and also goals from him.
“Gerrard, Torres and Keane playing together was one of the keys to keeping possession.
“But I feel we have some good players in the team, different players with different qualities and a good mentality.”
David Ngog and Yossi Benayoun also found the net before Xabi Alonso sealed the win from the penalty spot.
