Gerry Marsden led the Kop in the pre-match singing of YNWA which resulted in a good atmosphere during the game and Cole said it was because of atmospheres like this that he signed for Liverpool in the Summer.
"That was brilliant because it lifted everyone and if we'd have scored in the first five minutes you would have had to give Gerry the assist!" joked the midfielder.
"The supporters are brilliant and I can't wait to experience the atmosphere on a big European night in the future.
"The atmosphere was brilliant and that's why I signed for this club.
"It feels like a weight off our shoulders and the whole place has been lifted by this victory.
"I thought we played well. We should have won by more than the 2-1 margin. Paul Robinson pulled off some great saves but I'm sure someone is going to get a spanking soon when those chances start going in."
