Aston Villa veteran Joe Cole was delighted with his goalscoring performance in their 1-1 draw with Burnley.
Cole linked up brilliantly with Gabriel Agbonlahor, Tom Cleverley and Andreas Weimann as the league's lowest scorers put on a display of attacking intent and scored his first goal for 11 months late in the first half.
He said: "It's always nice to score your first goal for your new club and to score it on my first league start was great.
"It's been a long time. I've had a few niggly injuries and things but I'm just here to play football. I want to help the club and help the young players with my experience and my performances.
"It's a short career and you want to play football. I'm just disappointed we didn't get the three points, which would have made it a cracking day for everyone.
"We need to kick on and take the positives out of the game, because there were a lot of positives.
"I enjoyed it. I like playing with Gabby and we've also got Christian (Benteke) to come back into the team and Tom and Westy (Ashley Westwood) and Carlos (Sanchez) and Andi.
"We've got good players at the club and we've got a good manager, and we just need to put that together.
"We know we're not a top-six side at the moment. We've got to make sure we survive in this league first and foremost and then we'll go on from there."
