Millwall Lionesses first-team coach Adam Rowland hailed the character shown within the squad after they beat Aylesford 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.
That’s nine wins in a row for Millwall, who sit top of the London & South East Regional Women’s Division.
Maisie Joyce put the South London club ahead after hitting home from six yards out to score her fifth goal in two games.
The hosts equalised when a free-kick into the box was headed past Serena Hand and into the back of The Lionesses' net.
After the restart it was one-way traffic - and that pressure finally paid off when Otesha Charles picked up the ball in the area and struck past the Aylesford 'keeper.
The three points were sealed in stoppage-time as Lucy Jellett pounced on a rebound to make it three for The Lionesses and secure another victory.
Millwall: Hand, Auguste, Keogh, Payne, Welsh, Chapman (c), Penfold, Joyce, Charles, Reid, Kabadaki.
Subs: Moulton, Seely, Richards, Bailey, Jellett.
Rowland said: “We had to dig deep today, the other team sat in, they had quite a low block and tried to nullify us but we dug deep and eventually got the win.
“There’s a lot of strong personalities but each and every one of them has got a strong character to be able to deal with that.
“To be able to keep going and keep going, it was like attack versus defence in the end. Chance after chance, we couldn’t seem to get . That character shines through when you keep on trying.
“There’s a massive target on our backs, people want to beat us now. We just have to keep doing that and keep doing our best to get the win, keep striving and keep working hard.
“It’s great to be , but it’s a lot of pressure. All we can do is keep trying to win every week and stay there.
“We’re looking at Richmond, but we’re also looking ahead to Gillingham in the Cup - that’s quite a big game for us, we want to prove a point there.”
