He told liverpoolfc.com: "It's always been fantastic. When this crowd get going, especially in night games, it's a powerful crowd. Obviously they're building the capacity as we go along, it was 59,000 today. And I think they helped us turn the game around. 2-0 down at half-time but we felt it was against the run of play. We had to get the next goal and I thought the lads were terrific second half.
"It's all for a good cause, we've got to remember why we're here we're here for a good cause. There's going to be a lot of money raised today going to go to some fantastic causes. Sven being here today was very special; as soon as I knew he was going to be the gaffer today, I couldn't wait to come and play for him one more time."
On the win, he added: "He (Sven Goran Eriksson) changed a lot of things at half-time, I think he knew we didn't have any width in the first half and we were trying to force it through the middle. He made a lot of changes at half-time, gave us more width, asking us to stretch it more. He's still got it! He's still got the magic at half-time, he made a difference."
