Frank Lampard believes England's 5-1 win over Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday was their best performance of the group stages so far.
England vs. Croatia
Lampard helped himself to two goals as Fabio Capello's men erased memories of the 3-2 defeat at the hands of Croatia almost two years ago, a result which ended England's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2008, to book their place at next summer's World Cup finals.
The Chelsea man was one of only three survivors from that team that took to the field on Wednesday, with Steven Gerrard - another who started that fateful night - also grabbing a brace.
Wayne Rooney capped off a performance that Lampard feels is up there with the best he has been involved in with England.
"It feels great. It's what we set out to do, win all our games in the manner that we have done finishing off with tonight with our best performance is very special," he told Sky Sports.
"After the lows of two years ago this is the highest really and it's a moment to enjoy and after that I am hoping to keep working hard and improving and get better for the World Cup."
Enjoy the moment
The 31-year-old is all too aware that there is still work to do before England can be classed amongst the favourites for the World Cup next summer but Lampard is keen to enjoy the moment.
