Millwall Lionesses beat Aylesford 8-0 on Sunday afternoon at St Paul’s Sports Ground.

The Lionesses now sit in ninth place in the London & South East Regional Premier Division and climb above their visitors with the victory.

Millwall started strong and opened the scoring 12 minutes in when Emma Whitter pounced on a ricochet to smash home.

It was two just three minutes later as Whitter played in Chloe Burr, who fired past the goalkeeper.

Aylesford were reduced to 10 players in the 39th minute when Emel Huseyin was fouled.

Shannan Drewe was causing problems down the left flank and she got Millwall’s third when she finished just before the half-time break.

Elle Bailey added a fourth just after the restart, before Grace Seely was on hand to make it five just before the hour-mark.

Liv McGregor came off the bench and scored the sixth after a through-ball from Whitter, before she added a spectacular seventh when she beat two defenders before rifling home from outside the box.

Whitter made it eight deep into injury-time, slotting past the 'keeper from close range to round off a remarkable afternoon for Millwall Lionesses.

Alex Russell, half of Millwall Lionesses’ caretaker management duo, said: “Last week was a slightly easier opponent - with all due to respect to Regents Park Rangers - but we asked them to carry that form into this week.

“Aylesford have been a slight bogey team to us over the years, so we said to the girls that they will have to set up and be aggressive, on the front foot. Fundamentally, we want the girls who have been scoring goals to carry on scoring goals - they did exactly what we asked of them.”

Adam Rowland, co-caretaker manager, added: “We had to settle the ship when we came in and calm everyone down.

“That’s helped us to get those two wins and it’s something to build on. There is a bit more of a buzz back and the feeling in the camp is good.”

Millwall Lionesses: Wiggins, Poole, Huseyin, Bailey, Chapman, Payne, Jones, Seely, Whitter, Drewe, Burr.
