England international Jesse Lingard has described his first Three Lions goal as one of the best moments in his career.

The Manchester United winger's strike was enough to hand Gareth Southgate's men victory over the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Friday night in the first game of a two-match international break.

Lingard told The Mirror after the game that he is aiming to push on and secure a place at the World Cup finals in Russia.

"It's up there with my best moment," the 25-year-old said. "It's always an honour to score as well is a massive bonus. I took a bit of time, tried to concentrate on it and I tired to give the goalkeeper the eyes.

"Of course I want to start [in Russia]. When you work hard you get the rewards so from now I will carry on working hard and see where it gets me."

England face Italy in their next friendly on Tuesday before domestic action resumes next weekend.
