Liverpool eased into the Champions League quarter-finals after a superb strike by Fernando Torres gave last season's runners-up a 1-0 win at Inter on Tuesday and a 3-0 aggregate victory.

Inter, who had centre back Marco Materazzi harshly dismissed in the first leg, had defender Nicolas Burdisso sent off for a second booking on 50 minutes and 13 minutes later Torres pounced with a turn-and-shot on the edge of the area.

The Serie A leaders had several chances to draw level on the night but Argentine Julio Cruz and strike partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic were wasteful.

Liverpool join the other three English entrants, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, in the quarter-finals with AS Roma the only Italian side through.
