Tottenham full-back Kieran Trippier believes England's victory over Spain on Monday night should set the standard for Gareth Southgate's side moving forward and is a real statement of intent on the international stage.
The 'Three Lions' stunned 'La Roja' on Spanish soil, with Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford grabbing the goals in a 3-2 victory.
England have earned praised for their energetic, counter-attacking performance and Trippier believes the manner of the victory should set the benchmark for future games.
He remarked: "We want to beat the big teams. In the past few games we have had draws and not scored but I think last night we showed we can beat the top teams and defend well against the top teams.
"It was a statement last night and hopefully in the future we can put performances in like this as well.
"We want to win every game and play like that in every game. We know how well we can play as a team and last night in the first half we showed that.
"It is something to build on, we have a lot of confidence going into the next games. We just have to keep working on our formation in training and hopefully on matchdays we can put out the performances.
"I thought, all round it was a perfect performance.
"It is certainly up there for me personally in my career and I know for all the other lads. Spain haven't lost in over 10 years in a competitive game [at home] so it just shows what we can do, the attacking threat we've got.
"We learned a lot as a group and individuals at the World Cup. The manager has changed the formation and I think it releases the forwards more to press."
