Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson insists England want to compete with the world's best.
The Three Lions beat number one ranked Belgium on Sunday thanks to goals from Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford.
And Henderson wants similar results to become the norm for Gareth Southgate's side.
"It was very nice to get back out there, playing for England. It was nice to play again after a while," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"It was a good game to come into, Belgium are a very good side. We've got to be delighted with the performance level and getting the three points.
"We managed the game very well, particularly second half. I thought we were a lot stronger and created one or two chances which I think we could have scored from and defended well overall. We know with the players that they've got that they are going to create problems, but I think we kept that to a minimum and managed to get the points which is important.
"We want to compete with the very best teams, and Belgium are certainly that. We competed very well and that's what we want to do, keep competing and growing and you never know where that may take us."
