Souness praise for goal hero Cole

Last updated : 17 December 2002 By FootyMAD

Souness said: "Andy's finishing was excellent and I think it is only in the last three or four games that he has found his full match fitness.

"He had a good pre-season before he got injured but now he's got the sharpness back that you need in front of goal.

"Scoring the first goal was so important because had Wigan scored first it would have been a different game.

"We had to wait too long before we killed the game off but all credit to Wigan who kept going and stayed very much in the game."
