The Spain international had managed just one goal all season before today's match.
He got himself booked at Goodison Park, argued with referee Mike Riley about the heavy-handed treatment he was getting from Everton's defenders and then hit back where it hurts.
Torres volleyed home his first after 59 minutes and cracked in the second three minutes later.
Everton have still to win at home this season and had Tim Cahill sent-off with 10 minutes to go to cap a miserable day for David Moyes' side
