Gareth Southgate believes England's stunning win against Spain here on Monday can be the catalyst to further improvement. England produced a thrilling first-half display of free-flowing football normally associated with Spain, who conceded three goals for their first competitive defeat at home in 15 years.

Raheem Sterling ended his goal drought and grabbed his second after Marcus Rashford netted in a remarkable opening period, with Southgate's side then digging deep to secure a 3-2 win as Paco Alcacer and Sergio Ramos brought the clash to a nervy conclusion. "They have a reference of what it was like to play in a stadium like this," the Three Lions boss said.
