The Three Lions came from 2-0 down to beat Germany 3-2 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, and the former Fulham manager believes that his young side can only improve
Roy Hodgson says his England side are on the verge of something special, after the Three Lions came from 2-0 down to beat world champions Germany 3-2 in Berlin on Saturday.
Goals from Toni Kroos and Mario Gomez had given Joachim Low's men a commanding lead, but Harry Kane halved the deficit before Jamie Vardy equalised with a sensational flicked finish after coming on as a substitute.
Eric Dier then completed the comeback with a powerful near post header, and Hodgson admits that the performance ranks as his best as national team manager thus far.
And, with Euro 2016 looming this summer, Hodgson believes that his current crop of players can only get better.
"I always like to think the best night is still ahead of me. Best night so far? Ok, I'll give you that one," he told reporters.
When asked if he felt England were on the verge of great feats, he replied: "I've thought that for a while to be honest. When you think of the amount of debutants, or at least players playing their second or third or fourth game.
"Jamie Vardy, Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Harry Kane playing maybe his sixth game. For Danny Rose on his debut at this level to play so well up against Thomas Muller is tremendous."
