Torres steps out from under Villa's shadow

VIENNA: Fernando Torres showed that anything his fellow striker David Villa can do he can do too with the precious goal that gave Spain victory over Germany in Sunday's Euro 2008 final.

Villa had stolen most of the limelight away from the Liverpool forward at Euro 2008 up to Sunday night with his four-goal harvest making him the competition's leading scorer.

But injury in the first half of the Spaniard's semifinal success over Russia left the big stage clear for the Premier League star.
