Danny Rose has targeted a place in Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2016 after impressing on debut in the dramatic 3-2 win in Germany on Saturday.
The Tottenham full-back was a constant threat down England's left in Berlin - as he has been for his club all season - and he looks to have jumped to the front of the queue having previously been behind Leighton Baines, Luke Shaw, Ryan Bertrand and Kieran Gibbs in Hodgson's plans.
Rose is likely to get another chance to prove himself when England take on the Netherlands at Wembley on Tuesday night and the 25-year-old is desperate to seize the moment.
"There is very good competition at left-back," he said. "England are spoilt for choice at left-back.
"I've had to bide my time but there's a saying 'better late than never'. "I hope I can just continue this good form I have shown at Tottenham over the last two years and I hope I can make it on the plane come the end of May, start of June."
Rose was proud of the team for their comeback at the Olympiastadion having gone 2-0 down midway through the second half, with goals from Spurs teammates Harry Kane and Eric Dier starting and completing the rally.
"It's a great achievement for me, my club, my family," he added. "I feared the worst going 2-0 down but the lads showed a great attitude and we thoroughly deserved to win the game.
"We have had a couple of meetings during this camp. (England coach) Ray Lewington has spoken about there being more leaders on the pitch and once you go 1-0 or 2-0 down you look for your leaders.
"You hope they can dig you out and give you more confidence and Harry's scored a brilliant first goal and we thoroughly deserved it."
