Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier believes his tackle on Sergio Ramos on Monday night showed the world that England will be not be bullied by any country.

Dier clattered Ramos in the 11th minute and received a yellow card for what was seemingly a fair challenge.

And speaking after the 3-2 win, Dier said the challenge "put a marker down" to England's rivals.

"I think it's really important that we respect our opponents and Ramos is one of the best of all time, really," he said.

"It's important to respect them, but at the same time, once we start the game, it's every man for himself and we have to put our foot down, put a marker down and be aggressive - still with respect, but we have to be aggressive, be on the front foot and show that nothing is going to intimidate us.

"That's just as important as playing good football and all the other aspects. I think Ramos is a great example of that.

"He does everything so well, but at the same time he puts his foot down and he's not going to be bullied. We have to be the same way."
