Great result, but we must do it again says McClaren

STEVE McCLAREN has pointed to England’s best performance of his difficult time in charge and warned his players not to drop below those standards in future.

Goals from Shaun Wright-Phillips, Michael Owen and Micah Richards guided the Three Lions to a 3-0 romp over Israel at Wembley which has significantly increased their chances of reaching Euro 2008 next summer.

But McClaren realises his team are yet to prove they are capable of maintaining such a high level of performance on a consistent basis. And he has left them in no doubt once is not enough.
